Unjamming the genome after DNA damage: A gene regulatory multi-tool has yet another function
Ccr4-Not to the rescue. A) Ccr4-Not complex associates with RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) as it travels along a strand of DNA producing RNA. B) When RNAPII becomes stuck due to DNA damage, Ccr4-Not recruits factors that mark RNAPII with a small signaling molecule called ubiquitin. C) Ubiquitylation triggers degradation of RNAPII, allowing DNA repair enzymes to repair the damage and restore gene expression. Credit: Reese Laboratory, Penn State.
