Localisation

nucleus

Function

the FA complex is comprised of : FANCA, FANCC, FANCE, FANCF, and FANCG; this complex is only found in the nucleus.
  • FANCA and FANCG form a complex in the cytoplasm, through a N-term FANCA (involving the nuclear localization signal) - FANCG interaction; FANCC join the complex; phosphorylation of FANCA would induce its translocation into the nucleus.This FA complex translocates into the nucleus, where FANCE and FANCF are present; FANCE and FANCF join the complex. The FA complex subsequently interacts with FANCD2 by monoubiquitination of FANCD2 during S phase or following DNA damage. Activated (ubiquinated ) FANCD2 (i.e. FANCD2-L), downstream in the FA pathway, will then interact with other proteins involved in DNA repair, possibly BRCA1; after DNA repair, FANCD2 return to the non-ubiquinated form (FANCD2-S).
  • FANCD2co-localizes with BRCA1 in DNA damaged-induced loci and in the synaptonemal complex of meotic chromosomes as well.
  • Homology

    significant homologies can be found with proteins from various species

    Implicated in

    Entity name
    Fanconi anaemia (FA); FANCD2 is implicated in the FA complementation group D, a heterogeneous group, with at least 2 genes: FANCD2, and a yet undiscovered FANCD1. FA complementation group D represents about 1% of FA cases. In FA complementation group D patients, the FA complex is normal, in contrast with results found in group A, B (with a yet unknown gene), C, E, F, and G patients.
    Disease
    Fanconi anaemia is a chromosome instability syndrome/cancer prone disease (at risk of leukaemia and squamous cell carcinoma)
    Prognosis
    Fanconi anaemias prognosis is poor; mean survival is 20 years: patients die of bone marrow failure (infections, haemorrhages), leukaemia, or solid cancer.
  • It has recently been shown that significant phenotypic differences were found between the various complementation groups. Patients from the rare groups FA-D, FA-E, and FA-F had somatic abnormalities more frequently.
  • Cytogenetics
    Spontaneously enhanced chromatid-type aberrations (breaks, gaps, interchanges; increased rate of breaks compared to control, when induced by specific clastogens known as DNA cross-linking agents (e.g. mitomycin C, diepoxybutane).
