Article Abstract
The ubiquitylation cascade plays an important role in the recruitment of repair factors at DNA double-strand breaks. The involvement of a growing number of ubiquitin E3 ligases adds to the complexity of the DNA damage-induced ubiquitin signaling. Here we use the genetically tractable avian cell line DT40 to investigate the role of HERC2, RNF8 and RNF168 in the DNA damage-induced ubiquitylation pathway. We show that formation of ubiquitin foci as well as cell survival after DNA damage depends on both RNF8 and RNF168. However, we find that RNF8 and RNF168 knockout cell lines respond differently to treatment with camptothecin indicating that they do not function in a strictly linear manner. Surprisingly, we show that HERC2 is required neither for survival nor for ubiquitin foci formation after DNA damage in DT40. Moreover, the E3 ubiquitin ligase activity of HERC2 is not redundant to that of RNF8 or RNF168.

Chromatin has a major influence on the DNA damage response (DDR). Several chromatin-related factors participate in specialised DNA packaging during the DDR including the CENPS and CENPX histone fold proteins, also known as MHF1/2, and the chromatin remodelling factor RSF1 although their contribution has remained unclear. We defined a timeline for RSF1, CENPS, and CENPX recruitment at DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) induced in live HeLa cells by microirradiation and calibrated this to published data to clarify the potential for their involvement in the DDR.

The ubiquitination of histone H2A/H2AX, catalyzed by RNF8/RNF168, is a crucial step in the repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs), playing a significant role in transmitting and amplifying DNA damage response signals. However, the upstream regulatory mechanisms of RNF168 remain unclear. Here, we demonstrate that ZNF451 catalyzes the SUMOylation of RNF168, thereby regulating the ubiquitination of histone H2A/H2AX.

Translational control shapes the proteome and is particularly important in regulating gene expression under stress. A key source of endothelial stress is treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), which lowers cancer mortality but increases cardiovascular mortality. Using a human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived endothelial cell (hiPSC-EC) model of sunitinib-induced vascular dysfunction combined with ribosome profiling, we assessed the role of translational control in hiPSC-ECs in response to stress.

RNF168 orchestrates a ubiquitin-dependent DNA damage response to regulate the recruitment of repair factors, such as 53BP1 to DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). In addition to its canonical functions in DSB signaling, RNF168 may facilitate DNA replication fork progression. However, the precise role of RNF168 in DNA replication remains unclear.

DNA damage causes genomic instability. To maintain genome integrity, cells have evolved DNA damage response, which is involved in replication fork disassembly and DNA replication termination. However, the mechanism underlying the regulation of replication fork disassembly and its connection with DNA damage repair remain elusive.
