Abstract:
Like many other cellular processes, regulation of the DNA damage response (DDR) is regulated at different levels, ranging from transcriptional control to an array of distinct post-translational modifications. Involvement of ubiquitylation and the ubiquitin proteasome system in adjusting DDR are such protein modifications that were receiving increasing attention in the field. In this review we summarize and discuss a few recent key publications addressing the issue of DDR factor ubiquitylation, focusing on UV-induced DDR. We discuss the implications of these modifications to allow swift adaptation and regulation of genome surveillance factors.

Nucleotide Excision Repair
Cells are regularly exposed to mutagens—factors in the environment that can damage DNA and generate mutations. UV radiation is one of the most common mutagens and is estimated to introduce a significant number of changes in DNA. These include bends or kinks in the structure, which can block DNA replication or transcription. If these errors are not fixed, the damage can cause mutations, which in turn can result in cancer or disease depending on which sequences are...
