The rad6-1 and rad6-3 mutants are highly UV sensitive and show an increase in spontaneous and UV induced mitotic heteroallelic recombination in diploids. Both rad6 mutants are proficient in spontaneous and UV induced unequal sister chromatid recombination in the reiterated ribosomal DNA sequence and are deficient in UV induced mutagenesis. In contrast to the above effects where both mutants appear similar, rad6-1 mutants are deficient in sporulation and meiotic recombination whereas rad6-3 mutants are proficient. The differential effects of these mutations indicate that the RAD6 gene is multifunctional. The possible role of the RAD6 gene in error prone excision repair of UV damage during the G1 phase of the cell cycle in addition to its role in postreplication repair is discussed.

Rad6 Regulates Conidiation by Affecting the Biotin Metabolism in .

Rad6 is a canonical ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme known for its role in regulating chromosome-related cellular processes in yeast and has been proven to have multiple functions in , including insect-pathogenic lifestyle, UV damage repair, and conidiation. However, previous studies have only reported the key role of Rad6 in regulating conidial production in a nutrient-rich medium, without any deep mechanism analyses. In this study, we found that the disruption of Rad6 leads to a profound reduction in conidial production, irrespective of whether the fungus is cultivated in nutrient-rich or nutrient-poor environments.

Increased mutational burden and EBV load have been revealed from normal tissues to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated gastric carcinomas (EBVaGCs). BPLF1, encoded by EBV, is a lytic cycle protein with deubiquitinating activity has been found to participate in disrupting repair of DNA damage. We first confirmed that BPLF1 gene in gastric cancer (GC) significantly increased the DNA double strand breaks (DSBs).

Background: Histone H3K4 tri-methylation (H3K4me3) catalyzed by Set1/COMPASS, is a prominent epigenetic mark found in promoter-proximal regions of actively transcribed genes. H3K4me3 relies on prior monoubiquitination at the histone H2B (H2Bub) by Rad6 and Bre1. Swd2/Cps35, a Set1/COMPASS component, has been proposed as a key player in facilitating H2Bub-dependent H3K4me3.

Nucleosomes are major determinants of eukaryotic genome organization and regulation. Many studies, incorporating a diversity of experimental approaches, have been focused on identifying and discerning the contributions of histone post-translational modifications to DNA-centered processes. Among these, monoubiquitylation of H2B (H2Bub) on K120 in humans or K123 in budding yeast is a critical histone modification that has been implicated in a wide array of DNA transactions.

The E2 ubiquitin conjugator Rad6 is required for DNA damage bypass in budding yeast but remain functionally unknown in filamentous fungi. Here, we report pleiotropic effect of Rad6 ortholog in Beauveria bassiana, a wide-spectrum fungal insecticide. Global ubiquitination signal was greatly attenuated in the absence of rad6.
