| Protein existence | Evidence at protein level |
General annotation (Comments)
| Function | Ubiquitin ligase protein that mediates monoubiquitination of FANCD2, a key step in the DNA damage pathway. Also mediates monoubiquitination of FANCI. May stimulate the ubiquitin release from UBE2W. May be required for proper primordial germ cell proliferation in the embryonic stage, whereas it is probably not needed for spermatogonial proliferation after birth. Ref.5 Ref.8 Ref.9 Ref.11 Ref.12 |
| Pathway | |
| Subunit structure | Interacts with GGN By similarity. Belongs to the multisubunit FA complex composed of FANCA, FANCB, FANCC, FANCE, FANCF, FANCG, FANCL/PHF9 and FANCM. The complex is not found in FA patients. In complex with FANCF, FANCA and FANCG, but not with FANCC, nor FANCE, interacts with HES1; this interaction may be essential for the stability and nuclear localization of FA core complex proteins. Interacts with FANCI. Interacts (via the RING-type zinc finger) with UBE2T and UBE2W. Ref.5 Ref.6 Ref.7 Ref.8 Ref.9 Ref.10 Ref.11 Ref.13 Ref.14 |
| Subcellular location | |
| Domain | The UBC-RWD region (URD) region mediates interaction with FANCI and FANCD2 (Ref.14). |
| Post-translational modification | The RING-type zinc finger domain is monoubiquitinated in the presence of UBE2T and UBE2W. |
| Involvement in disease | Fanconi anemia complementation group L (FANCL) [MIM:614083]: A disorder affecting all bone marrow elements and resulting in anemia, leukopenia and thrombopenia. It is associated with cardiac, renal and limb malformations, dermal pigmentary changes, and a predisposition to the development of malignancies. At the cellular level it is associated with hypersensitivity to DNA-damaging agents, chromosomal instability (increased chromosome breakage) and defective DNA repair. |
| Sequence similarities | Contains 1 RING-type zinc finger. |
| Caution | Although Ref.4 reports that it contains a PHD-type zinc finger, it contains a RING-type zinc finger. Moreover, PHD-type zinc fingers do not have any ubiquitin ligase activity. |
Ontologies
Alternative products
| This entry describes 2 isoforms produced by alternative splicing. [Align] [Select] | ||||||
