Fancp/Slx4

Abstract: Fanconi anemia (FA) is a rare genetic disease characterized by congenital abnormalities, bone marrow failure and heightened cancer susceptibility. The FA proteins are known to function in the cellular defense against DNA interstrand crosslinks (ICLs), a process that remains poorly understood. A recent spate of discoveries has led to the identification of one new FA gene, FANCP/SLX4, and two strong candidate FA genes, FAN1 and RAD51C. In this perspective we describe the discovery of FANCP/SLX4 and discuss how t… Show more

“…Together, these results suggest Vpr as an antagonist of innate sensing of HIV-1 infection. The recent landmark study by Laguette and colleagues suggested a first molecular explanation for this activity by unraveling the interaction of Vpr with SLX4, a nuclease scaffold with important roles in DNA damage and repair (44,73). Via this interaction, Vpr prematurely activates SLX4 complexes, which results in cell cycle arrest but also reduces the proinflammatory cytokine response to HIV infection (44,59,74).…”

“…Of the fifteen FA genes/candidate genes currently identified [9] ( Table 1 ), two ( FANCM, FANCJ ) encode DNA-dependent ATPases. FANCM regulates replication fork progression [10,11] and is thought to remodel stalled replication forks through its ATP-dependent branch migration activity [12-15].…”

“…Upon damage, the monoubiquitinated FANCD2-I complex is then recruited to the chromatin where it interacts with downstream FA proteins [FANCD1/BRCA2, FANCJ/BACH1, FANCN/PALB2, FANCO/RAD51C, and FANCP/SLX4 along with the FA-associated nuclease 1 (FAN1)] that are all involved in promoting HR repair (Howlett et al 2002; Litman et al 2005; Reid et al 2007; Xia et al 2007; Shen et al 2009; Liu et al 2010; Smogorzewska et al 2010; Vaz et al 2010; Crossan et al 2011; Stoepker et al 2011). Monoubiquitinated FANCD2 also provides binding sites for SLX4 and FAN1, which are structure specific endonucleases that play roles in unhooking the ICL, HR repair, and potentially facilitating TLS (Liu et al 2010; Cybulski and Howlett 2011; Sengerova et al 2011; Yamamoto et al 2011). Deficiencies in any of these proteins results in the characteristic deficiency in DSB resolution following exposure to DNA crosslinking agents, as well as reductions in gene conversion efficiencies, identical to what has have observed in REV1 or Polζ-depleted cells (Hicks et al 2010; Sharma et al 2012a).…”
