| Research Abstract |
This study aimed to find a new approach to the prediction and control of radiosensitivity through the analyses of the life cycle-how proteins are generated and degraded - and homeostasis-how proteins are protected and recovered from dysfunctional status, such as denaturation - of proteins involved in DNA double-strand break repair through non-homologous end joining.We obtained the following major outcomes. First, we found regions in DNA ligase IV for chromatin binding and stabilization. Second, we found a protein required for the chromatin binding of XRCC4 and also clarified binding region in XRCC4. Third, we created a series of mutants of XRCC4 and XLF. In XRCC4, we found several mutants, other than potential phosphorylation site mutants, with elevated radiosensitivity, suggesting possible involvement of posttranslational modifications other than phosphorylation or protein-protein interaction. These results might show a new strategy for radiosensitization by targeting the protein-protein or protein-chromatin interactions.
