Abstrakt: The twenty-three Fanconi anemia (FA) proteins cooperate in the FA/BRCA pathway to repair DNA interstrand cross-links (ICLs). The cell division cycle and apoptosis regulator 1 (CCAR1) protein is also a regulator of ICL repair, though its possible function in the FA/BRCA pathway remains unknown. Here, we demonstrate that CCAR1 plays a unique upstream role in the FA/BRCA pathway and is required for FANCA protein expression in human cells. Interestingly, CCAR1 co-immunoprecipitates with FANCA pre-mRNA and is required for FANCA mRNA processing. Loss of CCAR1 results in retention of a poison exon in the FANCA transcript, thereby leading to reduced FANCA protein expression. A unique domain of CCAR1, the EF hand domain, is required for interaction with the U2AF heterodimer of the spliceosome and for excision of the poison exon. Taken together, CCAR1 is a splicing modulator required for normal splicing of the FANCA mRNA and other mRNAs involved in various cellular pathways.
