Description

ATAD5 (ATPase Family AAA Domain Containing 5) encodes a protein involved in DNA replication and genomic stability. It functions as a component of the alternative replication factor C (RFC) complex, facilitating the unloading of PCNA from chromatin during DNA replication and repair. ATAD5 is also implicated in the Fanconi anemia pathway and is frequently mutated in various cancers.

Disease Associations

Disease category Pathophysiological mechanism Genomic evidence
Fanconi anemia ATAD5 mutations impair DNA repair and genomic stability, contributing to bone marrow failure and cancer predisposition. ClinVar, OMIM
Colorectal cancer Somatic mutations and loss of heterozygosity at the ATAD5 locus are associated with microsatellite instability and tumor progression. COSMIC, NCBI
Breast cancer ATAD5 expression alterations and mutations are observed in breast tumors, potentially affecting DNA damage response. COSMIC, ClinVar

Mutations & Variants

Hotspot Mutations
Variant Type Frequency Functional Description
c.2125C>T (p.Arg709*) Nonsense <1% Loss of function; truncation of protein
c.1234_1235del (p.Lys412fs) Frameshift <1% Loss of function; premature stop codon
c.3457G>A (p.Glu1153Lys) Missense <1% Unknown; potential impact on ATPase activity
Mutation functional classification

Loss of Function (LOF)

Nonsense and frameshift mutations leading to truncated or absent ATAD5 protein, impairing PCNA unloading and DNA repair.

Gain of Function (GOF)

No gain-of-function mutations reported in ATAD5.

Dominant Negative (DN)

Some missense mutations may act in a dominant-negative manner by disrupting RFC complex assembly, though evidence is limited.

Gene Ontology (GO)

• DNA replication • PCNA unloading
• DNA repair • ATP binding
• ATPase activity • chromatin binding

Protein Summary

ATAD5 is a 1,842-amino acid protein containing an AAA+ ATPase domain. It forms an alternative RFC complex with RFC2-5 to unload PCNA from DNA after replication or repair. This activity is essential for maintaining genomic stability and preventing replication stress. ATAD5 is also involved in the Fanconi anemia pathway, interacting with FANCD2.
