Here we overview the recent findings on the role of ISG15 and its conjugation to target proteins (e.g., p53, ΔNp63α, and PCNA) in the control of cellular responses to genotoxic stress, such as the inhibition of cell growth and tumorigenesis. Accordingly, treatment with DNA-damaging agents, such as UV, camptothecin, and doxorubicin, markedly induces both the mRNA and protein further accelerates p53 ISGylation and subsequent processes for suppression of cell growth and tumor development by forming a positive feedback loop. Thus, it appears clear that ISG15 and its conjugation to target proteins play a crucial function in the control of cellular responses to genotoxic stresses and in turn in suppression of DNA damage-mediated tumorigenesis. ./cache/cord-002441-w731ehtz.txt ./txt/cord-002441-w731ehtz.txt
