Popis: | We highlight a recent study exploring the hand-off of UV damage to several key nucleotide excision repair (NER) proteins in the cascade: UV-DDB, XPC and TFIIH. The delicate dance of DNA repair proteins is choreographed by the dynamic hand-off of DNA damage from one recognition complex to another damage verification protein or set of proteins. These DNA transactions on chromatin are strictly chaperoned by post-translational modifications (PTM). This new study examines the role that ubiquitylation and subsequent DDB2 degradation has during this process. In total, this study suggests an intricate cellular timer mechanism that under normal conditions DDB2 helps recruit and ubiquitylate XPC, stabilizing XPC at damaged sites. If DDB2 persists at damaged sites too long, it is turned over by auto-ubiquitylation and removed from DNA by the action of VCP/p97 for degradation in the 26S proteosome. |
