Deskripsi

Ufmylation is a ubiquitylation-like protein modification but only a few ufmylation substrates and functions have been discovered so far. Here, the authors demonstrate ufmylation of histone H4 upon DNA damage and show that this modification is involved in the amplification of ATM activation.
