Molecular Insights into the Function of RING Finger (RNF)-containing Proteins hRNF8 and hRNF168 in Ubc13/Mms2-dependent Ubiquitylation
16 May 2012
Abstract excerpt
The repair of DNA double strand breaks by homologous recombination relies on the unique topology of the chains formed by Lys-63 ubiquitylation of chromatin to recruit repair factors such as breast cancer 1 (BRCA1) to sites of DNA damage. The human RING finger (RNF) E3 ubiquitin ligases, RNF8 and RNF168, with the E2 ubiquitin-conjugating complex Ubc13/Mms2, perform the majority of Lys-63 ubiquitylation in...
