Recombinant Human Fanconi-associated nuclease 1 (FAN1), partial

1. hFAN1 homodimerization plays a role in biological processes that involve 5' DNA Flap cleavage. PMID: 29518739
2. FAN1 interaction with ubiquitylated PCNA alleviates replication stress and preserves genomic integrity independently of BRCA2 PMID: 29051491
3. The structures, function, and proposed mechanisms of FAN1 nuclease are discussed, and the insights into its role in interstrand cross-links repair and in processing of stalled replication forks are provided. [REVIEW] PMID: 28623094
4. show that DNA repair genes (fan1 and pms2) significantly modify age at onset in Huntington's Disease and Spinocerebellar Ataxias, suggesting a common pathogenic mechanism, which could operate through the observed somatic expansion of repeats PMID: 27044000
5. FAN1 efficiently promoted DNA incision at the proper site of RPA-coated 5'-flapped DNA. Therefore, FAN1 possesses the ability to promote the ICL repair of 5'-flapped DNA covered by RPA. PMID: 25922199
6. EXO1 and FEN1 cleaved the substrate at the boundary between the single-stranded 5' flap and the duplex, whereas FAN1 incised it three to four nucleotides in the double-stranded region. PMID: 26221031
7. Detected FAN1 mutations in approximately 3% of families who met the Amsterdam criteria for hereditary colorectal cancer and had mismatch repair-proficient cancers with no previously associated mutations. PMID: 26052075
8. The crystal structures of human FAN1 in complex with a 5' flap DNA substrate show that two FAN1 molecules form a head-to-tail dimer to locate the lesion, orient the DNA, and unwind a 5' flap for subsequent incision. PMID: 25500724
9. In this work, FAN1-DNA crystal structures and biochemical data reveal that human FAN1 cleaves DNA successively at every third nucleotide PMID: 25430771
10. Results show that FAN1 utilizes its nuclease activity-in cooperation with the BLM-FANCD2 complex-to promote replication fork restart and simultaneous suppression of new origin firing. PMID: 25135477
11. FAN1 encodes a DNA repair enzyme, thus implicating abnormalities in DNA repair in the susceptibility to schizophrenia or autism PMID: 24344280
12. FAN1 might be a new mitotic substrate of APC/CCdh1 that plays a key role during mitotic exit. PMID: 22854063
13. By exome sequencing, we identified mutations in FAN1 as a cause of karyomegalic interstitial nephritis, a disorder that serves as a model for renal fibrosis. PMID: 22772369
14. Our results suggest that FAN1 has a minor role in interstrand crosslink repair compared with true Fanconi anemia genes and exclude FAN1 as a novel FA gene. PMID: 22611161
15. Two FAN1 variants do not appear to be causal for breast cancer. PMID: 21858661
16. Data show that FAN1 in DT40 cells participates in the processing of damage induced by interstrand cross-linking-generating agents also independently of the classical FA pathway. PMID: 21115814
17. Data show that FAN1 is a nuclear protein and forms DNA-damage-induced foci, which appear to be at stalled replication forks as denoted by RPA colocalization. PMID: 20935496
18. study characterizes FANI which promotes DNA interstrand cross-linking repair in a manner strictly dependent on its ability to accumulate at or near sites of DNA damage and that relies on mono-ubiquitylation of the FANCI-FANCD2 complex PMID: 20671156
19. Study describes how a highly conserved protein, KIAA1018/MTMR15/FAN1, that interacts with, and is recruited to sites of DNA damage by, the monoubiquitinated form of FANCD2. PMID: 20603015
20. KIAA1018 is a 5'-->3' exonuclease and a structure-specific endonuclease that preferentially incises 5' flaps; like cells from FA patients, human cells depleted of KIAA1018 are sensitized to ICL-inducing agents and display chromosomal instability. PMID: 20603016
21. FAN1 colocalizes at sites of DNA damage with the ID complex in a manner dependent on FAN1's ubiquitin-binding domain (UBZ), the FANCI-FAND2 (ID) complex, and monoubiquitination of FANCD2. PMID: 20603073
