    Title: The yeast proteases Ddi1 and Wss1 are both involved in the DNA replication stress response.
  2. e show that SPRTN is a DNA-dependent mammalian protease required for resolving cytotoxic DNA-protein crosslinks (DPCs)- a function that had only been attributed to the metalloprotease Wss1 in budding yeast. We provide genetic evidence that SPRTN and Wss1 function distinctly in vivo to resolve DPCs
    Title: SPRTN is a mammalian DNA-binding metalloprotease that resolves DNA-protein crosslinks.
  3. Upon DNA damage Wss1/Cdc48/Doa1 ternary complex is recruited to sumoylated targets and catalyzes SUMO chain extension through a newly recognized SUMO ligase activity.
    Title: Wss1 metalloprotease partners with Cdc48/Doa1 in processing genotoxic SUMO conjugates.
  4. Data suggest that Wss1 contributes to survival of DNA-protein crosslink (DPC)-harboring cells by acting on DPCs proteolytically. Wss1 enables replication of DPC-containing DNA and thus promotes genome integrity.
