Outline of Final Research Achievements |
DNA damage tolerance is an important mechanism to prevent DNA replication arrest by DNA damage. It is suggested that DNA damage tolerance is regulated by post-translational modifications of PCNA at K164. PCNA forms a ring-shaped structure consist of homo-trimeric PCNA molecules, which means a single PCNA ring have three modifiable K164. In this study, I investigated the mechanism of DNA damage tolerance pathway which is regulated by simultaneously mono-ubiquitinated PCNA on three K164 in a ring. I analyzed the responses of the cells expressing ectopic PCNA mutated at K164 to DNA damaging agents.
