Abstract excerpt
An evolutionarily conserved E3 SUMO ligase, Mms21, orchestrates genome integrity processes. Our study examined a mutant of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Mms21, analogous to a mutant identified in a rare human condition characterized by genome instability. The human mutation C-terminally truncated the Mms21 protein, without affecting the residues in the E3 ligase domain. Thus, we hypothesized that the C-terminus...
