SUMO E3 ligase Mms21 prevents spontaneous DNA damage induced genome rearrangements.

Jason Liang, Bin-Zhong Li, Alexander P Tan, Richard D Kolodner et al. • PLoS Genetics (2018)

Mms21, a subunit of the Smc5/6 complex, possesses an E3 ligase activity for the Small Ubiquitin-like MOdifier (SUMO). Here we show that the mms21-CH mutation, which inactivates Mms21 ligase activity, causes increased accumulation of gross c...
