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 ...

The role of Schizosaccharomyces pombe SUMO ligases in genome stability [PDF]
SUMOylation is a post-translational modification that affects a large number of proteins, many of which are nuclear. While the role of SUMOylation is beginning to be elucidated, it is clear that understanding the mechanisms that regulate the process is ...

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.

Methylated DNMT1 and E2F1 Are Targeted for Proteolysis by L3MBTL3 and CRL4DCAF5 Ubiquitin Ligase [PDF]
Many non-histone proteins are lysine methylated and a novel function of this modification is to trigger the proteolysis of methylated proteins. Here, we report that the methylated lysine 142 of DNMT1, a major DNA methyltransferase that preserves ...

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.

Smc5/6: a link between DNA repair and unidirectional replication? [PDF]
Of the three structural maintenance of chromosome (SMC) complexes, two directly regulate chromosome dynamics. The third, Smc5/6, functions mainly in homologous recombination and in completing DNA replication.

Slx5/Slx8-dependent ubiquitin hotspots on chromatin contribute to stress tolerance [PDF]
Chromatin is a highly regulated environment, and protein association with chromatin is often controlled by post-translational modifications and the corresponding enzymatic machinery.

A conformational RNA zipper promotes intron ejection during non-conventional XBP1 mRNA splicing. [PDF]
The kinase/endonuclease IRE1 is the most conserved signal transducer of the unfolded protein response (UPR), an intracellular signaling network that monitors and regulates the protein folding capacity of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER).
