Allosteric activation of the SPRTN protease by ubiquitin maintains genome stability
2024-11-28
Abstract excerpt
The DNA-dependent protease SPRTN maintains genome stability by degrading toxic DNA-protein crosslinks (DPCs). To understand how SPRTN’s promiscuous protease activity is confined to the cleavage of crosslinked proteins, we reconstitute the repair of DPCs including their modification with SUMO and ubiquitin chains, using recombinant human proteins. We discover that DPC ubiquitylation strongly activates SPRTN indepen...
