Disease

FANCI_HUMAN Fanconi anemia. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Function

FANCI_HUMAN Plays an essential role in the repair of DNA double-strand breaks by homologous recombination and in the repair of interstrand DNA cross-links (ICLs) by promoting FANCD2 monoubiquitination by FANCL and participating in recruitment to DNA repair sites. Required for maintenance of chromosomal stability. Specifically binds branched DNA: binds both single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) and double-stranded DNA (dsDNA). Participates in S phase and G2 phase checkpoint activation upon DNA damage.^[1] ^[2] ^[3] ^[4] ^[5]

Publication Abstract from PubMed

Ubiquitin-specific protease 1 (USP1) acts together with the cofactor UAF1 during DNA repair processes to specifically remove monoubiquitin signals. One substrate of the USP1-UAF1 complex is the monoubiquitinated FANCI-FANCD2 heterodimer, which is involved in the repair of DNA interstrand crosslinks via the Fanconi anemia pathway. Here we determine structures of human USP1-UAF1 with and without ubiquitin and bound to monoubiquitinated FANCI-FANCD2. The crystal structures of USP1-UAF1 reveal plasticity in USP1 and key differences to USP12-UAF1 and USP46-UAF1, two related proteases. A cryo-EM reconstruction of USP1-UAF1 in complex with monoubiquitinated FANCI-FANCD2 highlights a highly orchestrated deubiquitination process, with USP1-UAF1 driving conformational changes in the substrate. An extensive interface between UAF1 and FANCI, confirmed by mutagenesis and biochemical assays, provides a molecular explanation for the requirement of both proteins, despite neither being directly involved in catalysis. Overall, our data provide molecular details of USP1-UAF1 regulation and substrate recognition.
