K63-linked polyubiquitin chains bind to DNA to facilitate DNA damage repair

Abstract excerpt

patch in ubiquitin to facilitate DNA repair. Furthermore, experimental or cancer patient-derived mutations within the DIP impaired the DNA binding capacity of ubiquitin and subsequently attenuated K63-linked polyubiquitin chain accumulation at sites of DNA damage, thereby resulting in defective DNA repair and increased cellular sensitivity to DNA-damaging agents. Our results therefore highlight a critical...
