Abstract


A recent study has shown that the Ssl1 subunit of the general transcription/DNA repair factor TFIIH contains ubiquitin ligase activity that is dependent on a RING domain. The RING domain is required for transcription of a subset of yeast genes that are involved in DNA damage repair, thus uncovering a novel ubiquitination-associated function for TFIIH in the repair process.
