Mono-ubiquitination of Fancd2 is essential for repairing DNA inter-strand crosslinks (ICLs) but the underlying mechanisms are unclear. The Fan1 nuclease, also required for ICL repair, is recruited to ICLs by ubiquitinated (Ub)-Fancd2. This could in principle explain how Ub-Fancd2 promotes ICL repair, but we show recruitment of Fan1 by Ub-Fancd2 is dispensable for ICL repair. Instead Fan1 recruitment – and activity –restrains DNA replication fork progression, and prevent chromosome abnormalities from occurring, when DNA replication forks stall. Accordingly, Fan1 nuclease-defective knockin mice are cancer-prone. Moreover, we show that a Fan1 variant in high-risk pancreatic cancers abolishes recruitment by Ub-Fancd2, and causes genetic instability without affecting ICL repair. Therefore, Fan1 recruitment enables processing of stalled forks that is essential for genome stability and health.
