Fanconi Anemia Group D2 Protein Participates in Replication Origin Firing.
In the past decade, our laboratory has been greatly interested in studying the Fanconi Anemia (FA) signaling pathway [1-5]. This interest stems from the ability of the FA pathway to maintain genome stability and suppress tumorigenesis. Oncogenic proliferation occurs without sufficient nucleotides to support DNA replication, resulting in replication failure at common fragile sites and leads to t...
متن کاملAdvances in the understanding of Fanconi Anemia Complementation Group D2 Protein (FANCD2) in human cancer.
Fanconi anemia (FA) is a rare human genetic disease, resulting from dysfunction in any of 17 known complementation proteins: FANC-A, B, C, D1, D2, E, F, G, I, J, L, M, N, O, P, Q & S, and other unknowns. Besides the severe bone marrow failure, an extremely high incidence of cancer as well as many other clinic symptoms associated with FA patients, FA cells are known of insufficiency in homologou...
متن کاملFrequency of Hypothyroidism in Fanconi Anemia
Background: Fanconi anemia (FA) is a rare, autosomal recessive (AR) and multifactorial disorder. A high prevalence of FA observed in Iran is perhaps due to the high rate of consanguineous marriages. This study investigates the extent of short stature in patients with FA, the frequency of hypothyroidism in FA and the correlation between height and hypothyroidism. Methods: Eighteen patients with ...
متن کاملFanconi anemia D2 protein confers chemoresistance in response to the anticancer agent, irofulven.
The Fanconi anemia-BRCA pathway of genes are frequently mutated or epigenetically repressed in human cancer. The proteins of this pathway play pivotal roles in DNA damage signaling and repair. Irofulven is one of a new class of anticancer agents that are analogues of mushroom-derived illudin toxins. Preclinical studies and clinical trials have shown that irofulven is effective against several t...
متن کاملRegulation of the Fanconi anemia pathway by a CUE ubiquitin-binding domain in the FANCD2 protein.
The Fanconi anemia (FA)-BRCA pathway is critical for the repair of DNA interstrand crosslinks (ICLs) and the maintenance of chromosome stability. A key step in FA-BRCA pathway activation is the covalent attachment of monoubiquitin to FANCD2 and FANCI. Monoubiquitinated FANCD2 and FANCI localize in chromatin-associated nuclear foci where they interact with several well-characterized DNA repair p...
