Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The DNA damage tolerance pathways as the post-replication repair are regulated by ubiquitination of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA). Since mono- and poly-ubiquitination of PCNA stimulates the error-prone pathway, translesion DNA synthesis (TLS), and the error-free, in principle, pathway, template switch (TS), respectively. However, in humans, the regulatory mechanism is obscure because poly-ubiquitinated PCNA is only slightly detectable. In this study, we identified deubiquitinases for ubiquitinated PCNA and analyzed their functions in the damage tolerance pathways.
