Understanding DNA interstrand crosslink repair – the Fanconi anemia pathway and beyond
DNA interstrand crosslinks (ICLs) are toxic DNA lesions that are induced by cancer chemotherapeutics but are also formed endogenously. ICL repair is mostly linked to DNA replication, which complicated the biochemical dissection of this process. The classical ICL repair pathway is the Fanconi anemia pathway, affected in the cancer predisposition syndrome Fanconi anemia (FA). Although the repair mechanism is poorly understood, recent studies have revealed unanticipated insights that now allow us to address key questions. While the FA pathway was long thought to be the only replication-coupled ICL repair pathway, two novel pathways were recently discovered. We described one novel pathway that…
