Signalling by ubiquitin, SUMO and other ubiquitin-like modifiers (UBLs), and crosstalk between these modifications, underlies cellular responses to DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). Important insights have been gained into the mechanisms by which ubiquitin and UBLs regulate protein interactions at DSB sites to enable accurate repair in mammalian cells, thereby protecting genome integrity.
