Q93077

E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that plays a key role in DNAdamage signaling via 2 distinct roles: by mediating the 'Lys-63'-linked ubiquitination of histones H2A and H2AX and promoting therecruitment of DNA repair proteins at double-strand breaks (DSBs)sites, and by catalyzing 'Lys-48'-linked ubiquitination to removetarget proteins from DNA damage sites. Following DNA DSBs, it isrecruited to the sites of damage by ATM-phosphorylated MDC1 andcatalyzes the 'Lys-63'-linked ubiquitination of histones H2A andH2AX, thereby promoting the formation of TP53BP1 and BRCA1ionizing radiation-induced foci (IRIF). Also controls therecruitment of UIMC1-BRCC3 (RAP80-BRCC36) and PAXIP1/PTIP to DNAdamage sites. Also recruited at DNA interstrand cross-links (ICLs)sites and catalyzes 'Lys-63'-linked ubiquitination of histones H2Aand H2AX, leading to recruitment of FAAP20/C1orf86 and Fanconianemia (FA) complex, followed by interstrand cross-link repair.H2A ubiquitination also mediates the ATM-dependent transcriptionalsilencing at regions flanking DSBs in cis, a mechanism to avoidcollision between transcription and repair intermediates. Promotesthe formation of 'Lys-63'-linked polyubiquitin chains viainteractions with the specific ubiquitin-conjugating UBE2N/UBC13and ubiquitinates non-histone substrates such as PCNA. Substratesthat are polyubiquitinated at 'Lys-63' are usually not targetedfor degradation. Also catalyzes the formation of 'Lys-48'-linkedpolyubiquitin chains via interaction with the ubiquitin-conjugating UBE2L6/UBCH8, leading to degradation of substrateproteins such as CHEK2, JMJD2A/KDM4A and KU80/XRCC5: it is stillunclear how the preference toward 'Lys-48'- versus 'Lys-63'-linkedubiquitination is regulated but it could be due to RNF8 ability tointeract with specific E2 specific ligases. For instance,interaction with phosphorylated HERC2 promotes the associationbetween RNF8 and UBE2N/UBC13 and favors the specific formation of'Lys-63'-linked ubiquitin chains. Promotes non-homologous endjoining (NHEJ) by promoting the 'Lys-48'-linked ubiquitination anddegradation the of KU80/XRCC5. Following DNA damage, mediates theubiquitination and degradation of JMJD2A/KDM4A in collaborationwith RNF168, leading to unmask H4K20me2 mark and promote therecruitment of TP53BP1 at DNA damage sites (PubMed:11322894,PubMed:14981089, PubMed:17724460, PubMed:18001824,PubMed:18001825, PubMed:18006705, PubMed:18077395,PubMed:18337245, PubMed:18948756, PubMed:19015238,PubMed:19124460, PubMed:19202061, PubMed:19203578,PubMed:19203579, PubMed:20550933, PubMed:21558560,PubMed:21857671, PubMed:21911360, PubMed:22266820,PubMed:22373579, PubMed:22531782, PubMed:22705371,PubMed:22865450, PubMed:22980979). Following DNA damage, mediatesthe ubiquitination and degradation of POLD4/p12, a subunit of DNApolymerase delta. In the absence of POLD4, DNA polymerase deltacomplex exhibits higher proofreading activity (PubMed:23233665).In addition to its function in damage signaling, also plays a rolein higher-order chromatin structure by mediating extensivechromatin decondensation. Involved in the activation of ATM bypromoting histone H2B ubiquitination, which indirectly triggershistone H4 'Lys-16' acetylation (H4K16ac), establishing achromatin environment that promotes efficient activation of ATMkinase. Required in the testis, where it plays a role in thereplacement of histones during spermatogenesis. At uncappedtelomeres, promotes the joining of deprotected chromosome ends byinducing H2A ubiquitination and TP53BP1 recruitment, suggestingthat it may enhance cancer development by aggravating telomere-induced genome instability in case of telomeric crisis. Promotesthe assembly of RAD51 at DNA DSBs in the absence of BRCA1 andTP53BP1 Also involved in class switch recombination in immunesystem, via its role in regulation of DSBs repair. May be requiredfor proper exit from mitosis after spindle checkpoint activationand may regulate cytokinesis. May play a role in the regulation ofRXRA-mediated transcriptional activity.

Core component of nucleosome. Nucleosomes wrap andcompact DNA into chromatin, limiting DNA accessibility to thecellular machineries which require DNA as a template. Histonesthereby play a central role in transcription regulation, DNArepair, DNA replication and chromosomal stability. DNAaccessibility is regulated via a complex set of post-translationalmodifications of histones, also called histone code, andnucleosome remodeling.
