| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we aimed to elucidate the molecular mechanism of the cell cycle-specific regulation of chromosome end fusion leading to the cell carcinogenesis. We revealed that chromatin ubiquitination at the end of chromosomes induced by telomere dysfunction was largely diminished in S/G2 cell cycle phase. As a result, the recruitment of 53BP1, which is an essential factor for chromosome end fusion, is suppressed in S/G2 phase. We also elucidated that TRF2, the central factor for telomere protection, directly binds to the chromatin (core histone) to stabilize the chromosome ends.
