Loss of Mitochondrial Localization of Human FANCG Causes Defective FANCJ Helicase.


ABSTRACT: Fanconi anemia (FA) is a unique DNA damage repair pathway. To date, 22 genes have been identified that are associated with the FA pathway. A defect in any of those genes causes genomic instability, and the patients bearing the mutation become susceptible to cancer. In our earlier work, we identified that Fanconi anemia protein G (FANCG) protects the mitochondria from oxidative stress. In this report, we have identified eight patients having a mutation (C.65G>C), which converts arginine at position 22 to proline (p.Arg22Pro) in the N terminus of FANCG. The mutant protein, hFANCGR22P, is able to repair the DNA and able to retain the monoubiquitination of FANCD2 in the FANCGR22P/FGR22P cell. However, it lost mitochondrial localization and failed to protect mitochondria from oxidative stress. Mitochondrial instability in the FANCGR22P cell causes the transcriptional downregulation of mitochondrial iron-sulfur cluster biogenesis protein frataxin (FXN) and the resulting iron deficiency of FA protein FANCJ, an iron-sulfur-containing helicase involved in DNA repair.
