Disease relevance of FANCL

  • We previously purified a Fanconi anemia core complex containing the FANCL ubiquitin ligase and six other Fanconi anemia-associated proteins [1].
  • Altered Expression of FANCL Confers Mitomycin C Sensitivity in Calu-6 Lung Cancer Cells [2].
  • We studied seven SNPs in FANCA, FANCL and FANCD2 in a total of 897 consecutive and non-related sporadic breast cancer cases and 1033 unaffected controls from the Spanish population [3].

 

 

High impact information on FANCL

  • Here we report a new component of a Fanconi anemia protein complex, called PHF9, which possesses E3 ubiquitin ligase activity in vitro and is essential for FANCD2 monoubiquitination in vivo [4].
  • UBE2T binds to FANCL, the ubiquitin ligase subunit of the Fanconi anemia core complex, and is required for the monoubiquitination of FANCD2 in vivo [5].
  • We demonstrate a direct interaction between FANCB and FANCL and that a complex of these proteins binds FANCA [6] .
 

Biological context of FANCL

 

Anatomical context of FANCL

 

Associations of FANCL with chemical compounds

  • The PHD of FANCL also shares sequence similarity to the canonical RING finger of c-CBL, including a conserved tryptophan required for E2 binding by c-CBL [11] .
  • Monoclonal antibody PHF-9 recognizes phosphorylated serine 404 of tau protein and labels paired helical filaments [12].
 

Regulatory relationships of FANCL

  • This monoubiquitination is stimulated by the presence of the FANCL protein and inactivates UBE2T [5].
 

Other interactions of FANCL

  • Here we found that FANCL, but not BRCA1, evolutionarily co-exists with FANCD2 in several species [9].
