PCNA Ubiquitination Is Important, But Not Essential for Translesion DNA Synthesis in Mammalian Cells [PDF]
Translesion DNA synthesis (TLS) is a DNA damage tolerance mechanism in which specialized low-fidelity DNA polymerases bypass replication-blocking lesions, and it is usually associated with mutagenesis.

A multidimensional strategy to detect polypharmacological targets in the absence of structural and sequence homology [PDF]
Conventional drug design embraces the "one gene, one drug, one disease" philosophy. Polypharmacology, which focuses on multi-target drugs, has emerged as a new paradigm in drug discovery.

DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are one of the most lethal forms of DNA damage that is not efficiently repaired in prokaryotes. Certain microorganisms can handle chromosomal DSBs using the error-prone non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) system and ...

SUMO chain-induced dimerization activates RNF4 [PDF]
Dimeric RING E3 ligases interact with protein substrates and conformationally restrain the ubiquitin-E2-conjugating enzyme thioester complex such that it is primed for catalysis.

Rsp5 Ubiquitin Ligase Is Required for Protein Trafficking in Saccharomyces cerevisiae COPI Mutants [PDF]
Retrograde trafficking from the Golgi to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) depends on the formation of vesicles coated with the multiprotein complex COPI.

A novel form of rat liver DNA ligase (molecular mass 100 kDa) can be differentiated from DNA ligase I by several biochemical parameters. It is a more heat‐labile enzyme and unable to join bluntended DNA, even in the presence of poly(ethylene glycol) concentrations which stimulate such joining by DNA ligase I and T4 DNA ligase.

Nonhomologous end-joining (NHEJ) and homologous recombination (HR) are two major pathways for repairing DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs); however, their respective roles in human somatic cells remain to be elucidated.

A viral ubiquitin ligase has substrate preferential SUMO targeted ubiquitin ligase activity that counteracts intrinsic antiviral defence [PDF]
Intrinsic antiviral resistance represents the first line of intracellular defence against virus infection. During herpes simplex virus type-1 (HSV-1) infection this response can lead to the repression of viral gene expression but is counteracted by the ...

DNA Ligase I Is Not Essential for Mammalian Cell Viability
Summary: Of the three DNA ligases present in all vertebrates, DNA ligase I (Lig1) has been considered essential for ligating Okazaki fragments during DNA replication and thereby essential for cell viability.
