p38-MK2 signaling axis regulates RNA metabolism after UV-light-induced DNA damage

UV-light-induced DNA damage affects RNA metabolism but the underlying signalling pathways are largely unexplored. Here, the authors show that UV light triggers p38-MK2-mediated phosphorylation of the NELF complex, promoting its release from chromatin and concurrent transcriptional elongation.
