Abstract

SUMO modification and the response to DNA damage The occurrence of a double-strand break in DNA activates a complex series of events that recruit to the break many proteins involved in its repair. A number of these proteins are modified by addition of a small protein, SUMO; this modification is performed SUMO ligases. In this work, Jackson and colleagues show that two such ligases, PIAS1 and PIAS4, add various SUMOs onto DNA repair proteins at double-strand breaks. The PIAS ligases are recruited via their SAP domains, and their activity is required for effective repair. SUMOylation by PIAS1 and PIAS4 is also necessary for the further modification of certain repair factors by ubiquitin, a somewhat larger protein adduct related to SUMO. The successive SUMOylation and ubiquitylation of repair proteins regulates their targeting to, and repair of, DNA breaks.
