DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Post-translational modifications by the Small Ubiquitin-like Modifier (SUMO) family of proteins have been established as critical events in the cellular response to a wide range of DNA damaging reagents and radiation. Both radiation and chemotherapy kill cancer cells by inducing DNA damage that leads to genomic instability and/or cell death. Therefore, DNA repair mechanisms, which are SUMOylation dependent, play a critical role in the resistance of cancer cells to these treatments. However, the mechanism of SUMOylation in DNA damage response is poorly understood. We hypothesize that SUMO isoform-specific receptor proteins mediate SUMO isoform-specific functions in the repair of DNA damage. The proposed studies are based on our Preliminary Studies, which show that inhibition of SUMO-dependent protein-protein interactions inhibited the repair of DNA double-strand breaks, and increased the sensitivity of tumor cells to radiation and chemotherapeutic drugs that induce DNA damage. The proposed research integrates several scientifically diverse but highly synergistic approaches, including structural and molecular biological methods, to investigate the role of SUMOylation in the repair of DNA double-strand breaks, and to elucidate the functions of different SUMO isoforms in these processes. These studies will also investigate the structural basis for SUMO isoform-specific recognition, which will provide information for designing inhibitors of SUMO isoform-specific functions. The proposed studies address an innovative concept, and could lead to the establishment of a new paradigm of targeting SUMO-dependent mechanisms for cancer therapy. PUBLIC HEALTH REVELANCE: The overall goal of this proposal is to investigate the role of SUMOylation in DNA damage response.

描述（由申请人提供）：小泛素样修饰剂（SUMO）蛋白家族的翻译后修饰已被确定为细胞对多种 DNA 损伤试剂和辐射反应的关键事件。放疗和化疗都通过诱导 DNA 损伤来杀死癌细胞，从而导致基因组不稳定和/或细胞死亡。因此，SUMOylation 依赖性的 DNA 修复机制在癌细胞对这些治疗的抵抗力中发挥着关键作用。然而，人们对 DNA 损伤反应中 SUMO 化的机制知之甚少。我们假设 SUMO 异构体特异性受体蛋白在 DNA 损伤修复中介导 SUMO 异构体特异性功能。拟议的研究基于我们的初步研究，该研究表明，抑制 SUMO 依赖性蛋白质-蛋白质相互作用会抑制 DNA 双链断裂的修复，并增加肿瘤细胞对诱导 DNA 损伤的放射和化疗药物的敏感性。拟议的研究整合了多种科学上多样化但高度协同的方法，包括结构和分子生物学方法，以研究 SUMO 化在 DNA 双链断裂修复中的作用，并阐明不同 SUMO 亚型在这些过程中的功能。这些研究还将调查 SUMO 异构体特异性识别的结构基础，这将为设计 SUMO 异构体特异性功能的抑制剂提供信息。拟议的研究提出了一个创新概念，并可能导致建立针对 SUMO 依赖性癌症治疗机制的新范式。公共卫生启示：该提案的总体目标是研究 SUMOylation 在 DNA 损伤反应中的作用。
