    Concerted SUMO-targeted ubiquitin ligase activities of TOPORS and RNF4 are essential for stress management and cell proliferation

    Protein SUMOylation provides a principal driving force for cellular stress responses, including DNA–protein crosslink (DPC) repair and arsenic-induced PML body degradation. In this study, using genome-scale sc...

    E4 ligase–specific ubiquitination hubs coordinate DNA double-strand-break repair and apoptosis

    The E4 ligase UFD-2 is required for apoptosis induced by DNA damage in C. elegans, and for the resolution of RAD-51 foci during homologous recombination-dependent repair, thus coordinating these two cellular proc...

    The AAA-ATPase VCP/p97 promotes 53BP1 recruitment by removing L3MBTL1 from DNA double-strand breaks

    The E3 ubiquitin ligases RNF8 and RNF168 are required for recruitment of tumor surpressor 53BP1 to sites of DNA double-strand breaks. The reasons for this have been unclear, as 53BP1 recognizes histone mark H4...
