Real estate in the DNA damage response: Ubiquitin and SUMO ligases home in on DNA double-strand breaks

Ubiquitin and the ubiquitin-like modifier SUMO are intimately connected with the cellular response to various types of DNA damage. A striking feature is the local accumulation of these proteinaceous post-translational modifications in the direct vicinity to DNA double-strand breaks, which plays a cr...
