Abstract Text

FANCJ/BRIP1 is an iron-sulfur (FeS) cluster-binding DNA helicase involved in DNA inter-strand cross-link (ICL) repair and G-quadruplex (G4) metabolism. Mutations in FANCJ are associated with Fanconi anemia and an increased risk for developing breast and ovarian cancer. Several cancer-associated mutations are located in the FeS domain of FANCJ, but how they affect FeS cluster binding and/or FANCJ activity has remained mostly unclear. Here we show that the FeS cluster is indispensable for FANCJ's ability to unwind DNA substrates in vitro and to provide cellular resistance to agents that induce ICLs. Moreover, we find that FANCJ requires an intact FeS cluster for its ability to unfold G4 structures on the DNA template in a primer extension assay with the lagging-strand DNA polymerase delta. Surprisingly, however, FANCJ variants that are unable to bind an FeS cluster and to unwind DNA in vitro can partially suppress the formation of replisome-associated G4 structures that we observe in a FANCJ knock-out cell line. This may suggest a partially retained cellular activity of FANCJ variants with alterations in the FeS domain. On the other hand, FANCJ knock-out cells expressing FeS cluster-deficient variants display a similar-enhanced-sensitivity towards pyridostatin (PDS) and CX-5461, two agents that stabilise G4 structures, as FANCJ knock-out cells. Mutations in FANCJ that abolish FeS cluster binding may hence be predictive of an increased cellular sensitivity towards G4-stabilising agents.

Filtering

Case insensitive filtering will display rows if any text in any cell matches the filter term
Use simple literal full or partial string matches
Separate multiple filter terms with a space. Any order may be used (i. e. a b c and c b a are equivalent )
Filtering will only apply to rows that are already loaded on the page. Filtering has no impact on query parameters.
Use quotes to match on a longer phrase with spaces (i.e. "mtor c1483f")

Sorting

Generally, the default sort order for tables is set to be first column ascending; however, specific tables may set a different default sort order.
Click on any column header arrows to sort by that column
Hold down the Shift key and click multiple columns to sort by more than one column. Be sure to set ascending or descending order for a given column before moving on to the next column.

Gene	Variant	Impact	Protein Effect	Variant Description
BRIP1	R279Q	missense	loss of function	BRIP1 R279Q lies within the helicase ATP-binding domain of the Brip1 protein (UniProt.org). R279Q confers a loss of function to the Brip1 protein as demonstrated by reduced iron incorporation in an in vitro assay, and failure to rescue mitomycin C-induced cell death of Brip1 knockout cells in culture (PMID: 32542039).
BRIP1	C283H	missense	loss of function	BRIP1 C283H lies within the helicase ATP-binding domain of the Brip1 protein (UniProt.org). C283H confers a loss of function to the Brip1 protein as demonstrated by reduced iron incorporation in an in vitro assay, and failure to rescue mitomycin C-induced cell death of Brip1 knockout cells in culture (PMID: 32542039).
BRIP1	C283R	missense	loss of function	BRIP1 C283R lies within the helicase ATP-binding domain of the Brip1 protein (UniProt.org). C283R confers a loss of function to the Brip1 protein as demonstrated by reduced iron incorporation in an in vitro assay, defective unwinding of D-loop DNA substrates and G-quadruplex (G4) DNA secondary structures, failure to suppress accumulation of replisome-associated G4 structures and rescue mitomycin C-induced cell death of Brip1 knockout cells in culture (PMID: 32542039).
BRIP1	C283S	missense	loss of function	BRIP1 C283S lies within the helicase ATP-binding domain of the Brip1 protein (UniProt.org). C283S confers a loss of function to the Brip1 protein as demonstrated by reduced iron incorporation in an in vitro assay, defective unwinding of D-loop DNA substrates and G-quadruplex (G4) DNA secondary structures, failure to suppress accumulation of replisome-associated G4 structures and rescue mitomycin C-induced cell death of Brip1-knockout cells in culture (PMID: 32542039).
BRIP1	M299I	missense	unknown	BRIP1 M299I lies within the helicase ATP-binding domain of the Brip1 protein (UniProt.org). The functional effect of M299I is conflicting, as it has been reported to confer a loss of Brip1 DNA helicase activity in one study (PMID: 14983014), and to enhance DNA helicase activity in other studies (PMID: 32542039, PMID: 17145708).
BRIP1	L340F	missense	unknown	BRIP1 L340F lies within the helicase ATP-binding domain of the Brip1 protein (UniProt.org). L340F retains the ability to suppress replisome-associated G-quadruplex (G4) structures and to rescue mitomycin C-induced cell death of Brip1 knockout cells in culture, but results in reduced iron incorporation in an in vitro assay and decreased DNA helicase activity in culture (PMID: 32542039), and therefore, its effect on Brip1 protein function is unknown.
