Abstract :

This lecture will address the importance of ubiquitination in the regulation of DNA damage response. It will address roles of multiple Ubiquitin-protein conjugases and ligases in modification of histones and other proteins for transduction of DNA damage signaling. New advances in this area of research will be presented.
