Fanconi anemia group I protein homolog

UniProtKB accession:  Q8K368

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Plays an essential role in the repair of DNA double-strand breaks by homologous recombination and in the repair of interstrand DNA cross-links (ICLs) by promoting FANCD2 monoubiquitination by FANCL and participating in recruitment to DNA repair sites (PubMed:17412408, PubMed:17460694). The FANCI-FANCD2 complex binds and scans double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) for DNA damage; this complex stalls at DNA junctions between double-stranded DNA and single-stranded DNA (By similarity). Participates in S phase and G2 phase checkpoint activation upon DNA damage (By similarity).
