Human Gene FANCL (ENST00000233741.9) from GENCODE V44
  Description: Homo sapiens FA complementation group L (FANCL), transcript variant 2, mRNA. (from RefSeq NM_018062)
RefSeq Summary (NM_018062): This gene encodes a ubiquitin ligase that is a member of the Fanconi anemia complementation group (FANC). Members of this group are related by their assembly into a common nuclear protein complex rather than by sequence similarity. This gene encodes the protein for complementation group L that mediates monoubiquitination of FANCD2 as well as FANCI. Fanconi anemia is a genetically heterogeneous recessive disorder characterized by cytogenetic instability, hypersensitivity to DNA crosslinking agents, increased chromosomal breakage, and defective DNA repair. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, May 2018].

  ID: FANCL_HUMAN
DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase FANCL; EC=6.3.2.-; AltName: Full=Fanconi anemia group L protein; AltName: Full=Fanconi anemia-associated polypeptide of 43 kDa; Short=FAAP43;
FUNCTION: Ubiquitin ligase protein that mediates monoubiquitination of FANCD2, a key step in the DNA damage pathway. Also mediates monoubiquitination of FANCI. May stimulate the ubiquitin release from UBE2W. May be required for proper primordial germ cell proliferation in the embryonic stage, whereas it is probably not needed for spermatogonial proliferation after birth.
PATHWAY: Protein modification; protein ubiquitination.
SUBUNIT: Interacts with GGN (By similarity). Belongs to the multisubunit FA complex composed of FANCA, FANCB, FANCC, FANCE, FANCF, FANCG, FANCL/PHF9 and FANCM. The complex is not found in FA patients. In complex with FANCF, FANCA and FANCG, but not with FANCC, nor FANCE, interacts with HES1; this interaction may be essential for the stability and nuclear localization of FA core complex proteins. Interacts with FANCI. Interacts (via the RING- type zinc finger) with UBE2T and UBE2W.
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm. Nucleus.
DOMAIN: The UBC-RWD region (URD) region mediates interaction with FANCI and FANCD2 (PubMed:21775430).
PTM: The RING-type zinc finger domain is monoubiquitinated in the presence of UBE2T and UBE2W.
DISEASE: Defects in FANCL are the cause of Fanconi anemia complementation group L (FANCL) [MIM:614083]. FANCL is a disorder affecting all bone marrow elements and resulting in anemia, leukopenia and thrombopenia. It is associated with cardiac, renal and limb malformations, dermal pigmentary changes, and a predisposition to the development of malignancies. At the cellular level it is associated with hypersensitivity to DNA-damaging agents, chromosomal instability (increased chromosome breakage) and defective DNA repair.
SIMILARITY: Contains 1 RING-type zinc finger.
CAUTION: Although PubMed:12724401 reports that it contains a PHD- type zinc finger, it contains a RING-type zinc finger. Moreover, PHD-type zinc fingers do not have any ubiquitin ligase activity.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.

-  Orthologous Genes in Other Species
  Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
