Abstract

FAAP20 (Fanconi anemia-associated protein 20) is a subunit of the Fanconi anemia (FA) core complex that repairs interstrand cross-links. To understand the molecular basis for the FA core complex-mediated recruitment of Rev1 to the DNA lesion, we characterized the interactions among FAAP20-UBZ4, Rev1-BRCT, and ubiquitin using NMR. We found that FAAP20-UBZ4 binds not only ubiquitin but also Rev1-BRCT. Mapping the protein-protein interactions showed that FAAP20-UBZ4 has distinct binding surfaces for ubiquitin and Rev1-BRCT. In addition, the chemical exchange patterns indicated that the interaction between FAAP20-UBZ4 and ubiquitin might enhance the binding affinity between FAAP20-UBZ4 and Rev1-BRCT. These results provide new insight into the Rev1 recognition mechanism by FAAP20.

Anemia

Anemia develops when your blood lacks enough healthy red blood cells. Anemia of inflammation (AI, also called anemia of chronic disease) is a common, typically normocytic, normochromic anemia that is caused by an underlying inflammatory disease. Here is the latest research on anemia.

Birth Defects

Birth defects encompass structural and functional alterations that occur during embryonic or fetal development and are present since birth. The cause may be genetic, environmental or unknown and can result in physical and/or mental impairment. Here is the latest research on birth defects.
