The Myc-associated zinc-finger protein, Miz1, activates transcription of the p21cip1 gene in response to UV irradiation. Miz1 associates with topoisomerase II binding protein1 (TopBP1), an essential activator of the Atr kinase. We show here that Miz1 is required for the recruitment of a fraction of TopBP1 to chromatin, for the protection of TopBP1 from proteasomal degradation and for Atr-dependent signal transduction. TopBP1 that is not bound to chromatin is degraded by the HectH9 (Mule, ARF-BP1 ...[more]
