The ubiquitin ligase activity in the DDB2 and CSA complexes is differentially regulated by the COP9 signalosome in response to DNA damage. Cell. 113:2003;357-367 This study yields new and provocative information concerning the possible role of the COP9 signalosome in nucleotide excision repair. The COP9 signalosome (CSN), a regulator of cullin-based ubiquitin ligases is part of two different complexes - one containing DDB and another containing CSA. Differential regulation of the CSN ubiquitin ligase activity of the DDB2 and CSA complexes in response to UV irradiation is demonstrated.

Science. 300:2003;1300-1303 This study examines the kinetics of leading and lagging strand DNA synthesis in vivo, indicating that the synthesis of the two strands is uncoupled when a blocking lesion is on either strand. The replicative machinery does not appear to disengage from the arrested fork while the bypass polymerase performs translesion DNA synthesis.

Cell. 113:2003;183-193 An interesting study, suggesting a possible mechanism of antibiotic resistance during infection with M. tuberculosis. This appears to result from the upregulation of dnaE2, a gene with homology to the major replicative polymerase, in response to DNA damage.

Screening of 2,827 yeast gene deletion strains identified six novel genes that were not previously known to be involved in DNA damage. Deletion of these genes results in UV and MMS sensitivity.

Science. 297:2002;606-609 Most of the genes responsible for the eight FA complementation groups have been identified and belong to the same protein complex that direct the monoubiquitination of FA-D2. The resulting protein interacts with BRCA1, with subsequent signaling through BRCA2 and RAD51. This study identified mutations in the BRCA2 gene in FANCD1 and FANCB patients.
