Abstract
Viruses exploit cellular ubiquitination machinery to shape the host proteome and promote productive infection. Among the cellular processes influenced by viral manipulation of ubiquitination is the DNA damage response (DDR), a network of cellular signaling pathways that sense and respond to genomic damage. This host-pathogen interaction is particularly important during virus replication and transformation by DNA tumor viruses. Manipulating DDR pathways can promote virus replication but also impacts host genomic instability, potentially leading to cellular transformation and tumor formation. We review ways in which viruses are known to hijack the cellular ubiquitin system to reshape host DDR pathways.
