Fanconi Anemia (FA) is an autosomal-recessive cancer-prone disorder characterized by congenital defects, progressive bone marrow failure, increased chromosomal breakage, defective DNA repair and cellular hypersensitivity to mitomycin C. Fanconi Anemia Complementation Group D (FANCD) is comprised of two separate proteins, FANCD1/BRCA2 and FANCD2. LYRIC/MTDH, an RNA binding protein, regulates expression of FANCD2 and FANCD1 (1). FANCD2 is mapped to chromosome 3p25.3, has a theoretical molecular weight of 166 kDa and is localized in the nucleus. FANCD2 is involved in the regulation of DNA-binding transcription factor activity and DNA stability through accurate and efficient pairing of homologs during meiosis to promote repair of double-strand DNA breaks (2). Ubiquitination is required for FANCD2 to bind to chromatin. In response to DNA damage, FANCD2 is monoubiquinated to result in colocalization with other proteins (BRCA1 and BRCA2) involved in homology-directed DNA repair in the nucleus and is deubiquitinated upon DNA repair completion.
