Biological function summary

The FANCI protein acts as part of the multiprotein Fanconi anemia (FA) core complex. This complex Functions in the repair of DNA interstrand crosslinks which are severe forms of DNA damage. Successful function of FANCI is important for maintaining genomic stability and subsequently proper cell cycle progression. It partners with proteins including FANCD2 to coordinate the homologous recombination repair process. Defective FANCI leads to disrupted DNA repair resulting in cellular damage and apoptosis.

Pathways

FANCI plays a major role in the Fanconi anemia pathway and the broader DNA damage response system. The FA pathway which involves over 20 proteins forms a network integral in repairing DNA crosslinks. FANCI tightly interacts with proteins like FANCD2 to initiate DNA repair in response to damage. The successful coordination of these proteins ensures the stability of genetic material throughout the cell cycle affecting cell fate decisions such as survival or apoptosis.
