FANCA ( Fanconi anaemia complementation group A )
نویسنده
چکیده
Part of the FA complex with 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, 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.

Investigation of FANCA gene in Fanconi anaemia patients in Iran
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Fanconi anaemia (FA) is a syndrome with a predisposition to bone marrow failure, congenital anomalies and malignancies. It is characterized by cellular hypersensitivity to cross-linking agents such as mitomycin C (MMC). In the present study, a new approach was selected to investigate FANCA (Fanconi anaemia complementation group A) gene in patients clinically diagnosed wi...
متن کاملStrong FANCA/FANCG but weak FANCA/FANCC interaction in the yeast 2-hybrid system.
Three of at least 8 Fanconi anemia (FA) genes have been cloned (FANCA, FANCC, FANCG), but their functions remain unknown. Using the yeast 2-hybrid system and full-length cDNA, the authors found a strong interaction between FANCA and FANCG proteins. They also obtained evidence for a weak interaction between FANCA and FANCC. Neither FANCA nor FANCC was found to interact with itself. These results...
متن کاملDirect interactions of the five known Fanconi anaemia proteins suggest a common functional pathway.
Fanconi anaemia (FA) is an autosomal recessive inherited disorder associated with a progressive aplastic anaemia, diverse congenital abnormalities and cancer. The condition is genetically heterogeneous, with at least seven complementation groups (A-G) described. Cells from individuals who are homozygous for mutations in FA genes are characterized by chromosomal instability and hypersensitivity ...

Fanconi anemia (FA) is an autosomal recessive disorder of hematopoiesis characterized by hypersensitivity to DNA crosslinkers such as mitomycin C (MMC). There is growing evidence for a model of the FA pathway, wherein a nuclear multiprotein complex of five FA proteins (FANCA, C, E, F and G) regulates activation of FANCD2 into a monoubiquitinated form, which, collaborating with the BRCA1 machine...
متن کاملFanconi anemia proteins FANCA, FANCC, and FANCG/XRCC9 interact in a functional nuclear complex.
Fanconi anemia (FA) is an autosomal recessive cancer susceptibility syndrome with at least eight complementation groups (A to H). Three FA genes, corresponding to complementation groups A, C, and G, have been cloned, but their cellular function remains unknown. We have previously demonstrated that the FANCA and FANCC proteins interact and form a nuclear complex in normal cells, suggesting that ...
