          Abstract

          A conserved SUMO-ubiquitin-proteasome pathway protects cells from DNA damage induced by topoisomerases.

          Abstract

          Topoisomerases form transient covalent DNA cleavage complexes to perform their reactions. Topoisomerase I cleavage complexes (TOP1ccs) are trapped by camptothecin and TOP2ccs by etoposide. Proteolysis of the trapped topoisomerase DNA-protein cross-links (TOP-DPCs) is a key step for some pathways to repair these lesions. We describe a pathway that features a prominent role of the small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) modification for both TOP1- and TOP2-DPC repair. Both undergo rapid and sequential SUMO-2/3 and SUMO-1 modifications in human cells. The SUMO ligase PIAS4 is required for these modifications. RNF4, a SUMO-targeted ubiquitin ligase (STUbL), then ubiquitylates the TOP-DPCs for their subsequent degradation by the proteasome. This pathway is conserved in yeast with Siz1 and Slx5-Slx8, the orthologs of human PIAS4 and RNF4.

          The DNA-damage response in human biology and disease.

          The prime objective for every life form is to deliver its genetic material, intact and unchanged, to the next generation. This must be achieved despite constant assaults by endogenous and environmental agents on the DNA. To counter this threat, life has evolved several systems to detect DNA damage, signal its presence and mediate its repair. Such responses, which have an impact on a wide range of cellular events, are biologically significant because they prevent diverse human diseases. Our improving understanding of DNA-damage responses is providing new avenues for disease management.

            Structure and Function of the 26S Proteasome.

            As the endpoint for the ubiquitin-proteasome system, the 26S proteasome is the principal proteolytic machine responsible for regulated protein degradation in eukaryotic cells. The proteasome's cellular functions range from general protein homeostasis and stress response to the control of vital processes such as cell division and signal transduction. To reliably process all the proteins presented to it in the complex cellular environment, the proteasome must combine high promiscuity with exceptional substrate selectivity. Recent structural and biochemical studies have shed new light on the many steps involved in proteasomal substrate processing, including recognition, deubiquitination, and ATP-driven translocation and unfolding. In addition, these studies revealed a complex conformational landscape that ensures proper substrate selection before the proteasome commits to processive degradation. These advances in our understanding of the proteasome's intricate machinery set the stage for future studies on how the proteasome functions as a major regulator of the eukaryotic proteome.

              Regulation of DNA damage responses by ubiquitin and SUMO.

              Ubiquitylation and sumoylation, the covalent attachment of the polypeptides ubiquitin and SUMO, respectively, to target proteins, are pervasive mechanisms for controlling cellular functions. Here, we summarize the key steps and enzymes involved in ubiquitin and SUMO conjugation and provide an overview of how they are crucial for maintaining genome stability. Specifically, we review research that has revealed how ubiquitylation and sumoylation regulate and coordinate various pathways of DNA damage recognition, signaling, and repair at the biochemical, cellular, and whole-organism levels. In addition to providing key insights into the control and importance of DNA repair and associated processes, such work has established paradigms for regulatory control that are likely to extend to other cellular processes and that may provide opportunities for better understanding and treatment of human disease.
