Figure 8. Model of Pol III regulation by SUMO, ubiquitin, and Cdc48.

Figure 8.

A stable interaction between chromatin and the SAP domain of Siz1 stimulates its activity to modify Rpc53 with SUMO (S). Rpc53 sumoylation triggers ubiquitin (U) modification of Rpc160 and potentially other proteins by the Slx5-Slx8 complex, which also required the interaction between chromatin and the DNA-binding domain (DBD) of Slx8. Ubiquitylation subsequently activates Cdc48 to disassemble the Pol III complex, facilitating degradation of Pol III subunits by the proteasome.
