Abstract

Background: Monoubiquitination of FANCD2 and FANCI is critical in the FA pathway. Results: Specific mutations in FANCE that disrupt FANCD2 binding impair the FA pathway. Conclusion: Inhibition of the FANCE-FANCD2 interaction via FANCE point mutations in the C terminus disrupts the FA pathway. Significance: Recruitment of FANCD2 and FANCI to the FA E3 ligase is a critical step in the FA pathway.
