The E3 ligase RNF168 is essential for the signalling of DNA double strand break and its mutations are associated with the RIDDLE syndrome. Here the authors identify TOP2a as substrate for RNF168 and USP10; providing a link between the RNF168/USP10 axis, TOP2a and the response to anti-cancer drugs that target TOP2.
