PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

STRUCTURE

motifs/domains	N-terminal region of FANCF engages in interactions with the FANCC:FANCE subcomplex
	a putative RNA-binding domain
	putatively DNA-binding
	alpha helical structure
	C-terminal domain (CTD) interacts with FANCG

HOMOLOGY

intraspecies

homolog to prokaryotic RNA-binding protein ROM

Homologene

FAMILY

CATEGORY

regulatory , DNA associated

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	intracellular
	intracellular,nucleus,nucleoplasm

basic FUNCTION	putative RNA binding protein involved in the protection of the genomic integrity of cells
	acting as a flexible adaptor protein that plays a key role in the proper assembly of the FA core complex
	could closely appose the FANCC:FANCE and FANCA:FANCG subcomplexes and thereby promote secondary interactions that stabilize the FA core complex in a functionally competent configuration
	required to prevent accumulation of replication-associated DNA double-strand breaks
	FANCA, FANCF, FANCL, FANCD2, BRCA1, and BRCA2, are required for mitophagy

CELLULAR PROCESS

nucleotide, genomic integrity

PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS

PATHWAY

metabolism

signaling

chromosome instability pathway

a component	component of a nuclear complex with FANCA, FANCC, FANCG(XRCC1)
	member of the Group I Fanconi anemia proteins including also FANCA, FANCB, FANCC, FANCE, FANCM, FANCG, FANCL

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	FANCA
	interacting directly with FANCG and allows the assembly of other FA proteins into a stable complex by its C terminus
	FANCF is an IRF8 target gene (Saberwal 2009)

Susceptibility

to acquired pure red cell aplasia to epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC)

Variant & Polymorphism other	FANCF mutations may be associated with acquired PRCA
	CpG island methylation of FANCF gene promoter region is strongly associated with the susceptibility and clinicopathologic features of EOC
