The Fanconi Anemia (FA) DNA repair pathway is essential for the recognition and repair of DNA interstrand crosslinks (ICL). Inefficient repair of these ICL can lead to leukemia and bone marrow failure. A critical step in the pathway is the monoubiquitination of FANCD2 by the RING E3 ligase FANCL.

The combination of an E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme with an E3 ubiquitin-ligase is essential for ubiquitin modification of a substrate. Moreover, the pairing dictates both the substrate choice and the modification type. The molecular details of generic E3-E2 interactions are well established.

Structural analysis of human FANCL, the E3 ligase in the Fanconi anemia pathway.

The Fanconi anemia (FA) pathway is essential for the repair of DNA interstrand cross-links. At the heart of this pathway is the monoubiquitination of the FANCI-FANCD2 (ID) complex by the multiprotein "core complex" containing the E3 ubiquitin ligase FANCL. Vertebrate organisms have the eight-protein core complex, whereas invertebrates apparently do not.

The structure of the catalytic subunit FANCL of the Fanconi anemia core complex.

Nat Struct Mol Biol

March 2010

Protein Structure and Function Laboratory, Lincoln's Inn Fields Laboratories of the London Research Institute, Cancer Research UK, London Research Institute, London, UK.

The Fanconi anemia (FA) pathway is activated in response to DNA damage, leading to monoubiquitination of the substrates FANCI and FANCD2 by the FA core complex. Here we report the crystal structure of FANCL, the catalytic subunit of the FA core complex, at 3.2 A.
