Replication protein A (RPA), a eukaryotic single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) binding protein, dynamically interacts with ssDNA in different binding modes and plays essential roles in DNA metabolism such as replication, repair, and recombination. RPA accumulation on ssDNA due to replication stress triggers the DNA damage response (DDR) by activating the ataxia telangiectasia and RAD3-related (ATR) kinase, which phosphorylates itself and downstream DDR factors, including RPA. We recently reported that the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor synaptonuclear signaling and neuronal migration factor (NSMF), a neuronal protein associated with Kallmann syndrome, promotes RPA32 phosphorylation via ATR upon replication stress.

Histone H2B monoubiquitination has been shown to play critical roles in diverse cellular processes including DNA damage response. Although recent data indicate that H2B monoubiquitination is strongly connected with tumor progression and regulation, the implications of this modification in lung adenocarcinoma are relatively unknown. In the present study, we demonstrated the clinical implication of H2B monoubiquitination and the potential role of tumor necrosis factor receptor‑associated factor‑interacting protein (TRAIP) in regulating its modification in lung adenocarcinoma.

Imatinib is the first molecularly targeted compound for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) capable to inhibit BCR-ABL kinase activity. However, recent clinical evidence indicates that a substantial proportion of CML patients exhibit BCR-ABL-dependent or independent resistance to imatinib. Despite the importance of imatinib resistance in CML, the underlying molecular mechanisms of this resistance are largely unknown.

TRAIP/RNF206 plays diverse roles in cell cycle progression, DNA damage response, and DNA repair pathways. Physiological importance of TRAIP is highlighted by the identification of pathogenic mutations of TRAIP gene in patients diagnosed with primordial dwarfism. Although the diverse functions of TRAIP in the nucleus have been well characterized, molecular mechanism of TRAIP retention in the nucleus has not been determined.
