Structural and molecular basis of FAN1 defects in promoting Huntington’s disease
2024-10-07
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> FAN1 is a DNA dependent nuclease whose proper function is essential for maintaining human health. For example, a genetic variant in FAN1, Arg507 to His hastens onset of Huntington’s disease, a repeat expansion disorder for which there is no cure. How the Arg507His mutation affects FAN1 structure and enzymatic function is unknown. Using cryo-EM and biochemistry, we have discovered that FAN1 argin...
