New study maps protein structure involved in DNA repair, cancer pathways

December 2, 2025

  When a protein is modified inside the cell, it can change how that protein works, either by turning on or shutting off vital functions. One important system that controls these changes is called the small ubiquitin-like modifier, or SUMO, pathway, which affects many actions including DNA repair and stress response. Scientists at The University […]
