Article Title: | Regulation of Ku-DNA association by yku70 C-terminal tail and SUMO modification |
Abstract: | Background: The Ku70-Ku80 ring encloses DNA ends to enable telomere protection and DNA repair. Results: Conditional sumoylation of Ku70 is reduced by mutating C-terminal lysines and this mutant shows decreased DNA interaction, shortened telomeres, and altered DNA repair. Conclusion: Our analyses suggest that sumoylation modulates Ku function by enhancing its DNA association. Significance: Ku is regulated by Ku70 C-terminal lysines and SUMO modification.© 2014 by The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Inc. Published in the U.S.A. |
