The ubiquitin-proteasome system in cancer, a major player in DNA repair. Part 2: transcriptional regulation
نویسندگان
چکیده
DNA repair is an indispensable part of a cell's defence system against the devastating effects of DNA-damaging conditions. The regulation of this function is a really demanding situation, particularly when the stressing factors persist for a long time. In such cases, the depletion of existing DNA repair proteins has to be compensated by the induction of the analogous gene products. In addition, the arrest of transcription, which is another result of many DNA-damaging agents, needs to be overcome through regulation of transcription-specific DNA repair pathways. The involvement of the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) in cancer- and chemotherapy-related DNA-damage repair relevant to the above transcriptional modification mechanisms are illustrated in this review. Furthermore, the contribution of UPS to the regulation of localization and accessibility of DNA repair proteins to chromatin, in response to cellular stress is discussed.

The ubiquitin-proteasome system in cancer, a major player in DNA repair. Part 1: post-translational regulation
DNA repair is a fundamental cellular function, indispensable for cell survival, especially in conditions of exposure to environmental or pharmacological effectors of DNA damage. The regulation of this function requires a flexible machinery to orchestrate the reversal of harmful DNA lesions by making use of existing proteins as well as inducible gene products. The accumulation of evidence for th...
متن کاملThe ubiquitin-proteasome system and cancer.
The ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS) has emerged from obscurity to be seen as a major player in all regulatory processes in the cell. The concentrations of key proteins in diverse regulatory pathways are controlled by post-translational ubiquitination and degradation by the 26 S proteasome. These regulatory cascades include growth-factor-controlled signal-transduction pathways and multiple poi...
متن کاملThe Ubiquitin Proteasome Pathway (UPP) in the regulation of cell cycle control and DNA damage repair and its implication in tumorigenesis.
Accumulated evidence supports that the ubiquitin proteasome pathway (UPP) plays a crucial role in protein metabolism implicated in the regulation of many biological processes such as cell cycle control, DNA damage response, apoptosis, and so on. Therefore, alterations for the ubiquitin proteasome signaling or functional impairments for the ubiquitin proteasome components are involved in the eti...
متن کاملReading, writing, and repair: the role of ubiquitin and the ubiquitin-like proteins in DNA damage signaling and repair
Genomic instability is both a hallmark of cancer and a major contributing factor to tumor development. Central to the maintenance of genome stability is the repair of DNA damage, and the most toxic form of DNA damage is the DNA double-strand break. As a consequence the eukaryotic cell harbors an impressive array of protein machinery to detect and repair DNA breaks through the initiation of a mu...
متن کاملG2E3 attenuating replicative stress
cells generally display an increased level of replicative stress. While in S phase, their replication forks undergo temporary stalling and sometimes even permanent collapse, leading to the accumulation of single stranded DNA and a DNA damage response. Strategies to exploit this phenomenon by further increasing replicative stress include the use of conventional DNA-damaging chemotherapeutics, bu...
