Abstract
To cope with the life-threatening crisis of a DNA interstrand cross-link (ICL), human cells must invoke the Fanconi anemia (FA) DNA repair pathway. The FA pathway is a multistep repair process, requiring multiple nucleolytic incisions and translesion DNA synthesis. Recent work from four laboratories has identified a novel FA-associated nuclease, FAN1, that binds directly to monoubiquitinated FANCD2, resolving a decade-long puzzle regarding the function of this FANCD2 modification.Entities:
