DNA replication and the DNA damage response. The structure of a nucleosome in complex
with the dimeric RING E3 ligase Bre1 reveals that one RING domain binds to the
nucleosome acidic patch, where it can position the E2 ubiquitin conjugating enzyme Rad6,
while the other RING domain contacts the DNA. Comparisons with H2A-specific E3 ligases
suggest a general mechanism of tuning histone specificity via the non-E2-binding RING …
