As DNA encodes for proteins, these mutations might lead to differences in proteins. Apart from these changes in protein composition, the expression level of proteins might also change, when for example the regulatory elements surrounding a gene are affected. Currently it is unclear to what extent DNA damage impacts our proteomes, or how the cellular pathways that deal with protein stress (the protein quality control pathways) respond to DNA damage. My lab investigates this link between genome instability and protein quality control.
