DNA damage-binding protein 1 (DDB1)

The protein contains 1140 amino acids for an estimated molecular weight of 126968 Da.

 

Protein, which is both involved in DNA repair and protein ubiquitination, as part of the UV-DDB complex and DCX (DDB1-CUL4-X-box) complexes, respectively (PubMed:15448697, PubMed:14739464, PubMed:16260596, PubMed:16482215, PubMed:17079684, PubMed:16407242, PubMed:16407252, PubMed:16940174). Core component of the UV-DDB complex (UV-damaged DNA-binding protein complex), a complex that recognizes UV-induced DNA damage and recruit proteins of the nucleotide excision repair pathway (the NER pathway) to initiate DNA repair (PubMed:15448697, PubMed:16260596, PubMed:16407242, PubMed:16940174). The UV-DDB complex preferentially binds to cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPD), 6-4 photoproducts (6-4 PP), apurinic sites and short mismatches (PubMed:15448697, PubMed:16260596, PubMed:16407242, PubMed:16940174). Also functions as a component of numerous distinct DCX (DDB1-CUL4-X-box) E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complexes which mediate the ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of target proteins (PubMed:14739464, PubMed:16407252, PubMed:16482215, PubMed:17079684, PubMed:25043012, PubMed:25108355, PubMed:18332868, PubMed:18381890, PubMed:19966799, PubMed:22118460, PubMed:28886238). The functional specificity of the DCX E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex is determined by the variable substrate recognition component recruited by DDB1 (PubMed:14739464, PubMed:16407252, PubMed:16482215, PubMed:17079684, PubMed:25043012, PubMed:25108355, PubMed:18332868, PubMed:18381890, PubMed:199 (updated: April 22, 2020)

Dna damage-binding protein 1; ddb1
Ddb, p127 subunit

CLONING

Chu and Chang (1988) found that cells from 2 consanguineous patients with xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group E (XPE; 278740) lacked a DNA damage-binding activity that recognizes UV-irradiated DNA. Keeney et al. (1993) purified the DDB protein to apparent homogeneity and characterized it from human placenta and from HeLa cells. It was apparently identical to an activity first described from human placenta. DDB activity was associated with a polypeptide of approximately 124 kD, which was found to be complexed with a 41-kD protein. This stable heterodimer could, in turn, form a higher order complex. To test whether the DNA-repair defect in the subset of XPE patients that lack DNA damage-binding activity is caused by a defect in DDB, Keeney et al. (1994) injected purified human DDB protein into XPE cells. The injected DDB protein stimulated DNA repair to normal levels in those strains that lacked the DDB activity but did not stimulate repair in cells from XPE patients that contained the activity. These results provided direct evidence that defective DDB activity causes the repair defect in a subset of XPE patients and establishes a role for this activity in nucleotide-excision repair in vivo. The DNA damage-binding protein from HeLa cells is associated with polypeptides of relative mass 124,000 and 41,000 (DDB2; 600811) as determined by SDS-polyacrylamide gels. Dualan et al. (1995) isolated full-length human cDNAs encoding each polypeptide of DDB. The predicted peptide molecular masses based on open reading frames were 127,000 and 48,000. When expressed in an in vitro rabbit reticulocyte system, the p48 subunit migrated with a relative mass of 41 kD on SDS-polyacrylamide gels, similarly to the peptide purified from HeLa cells. There was no significant homology between the derived p48 peptide sequence in any proteins in databases, and the derived peptide sequence of p127 had homology only with the monkey DDB p127 (98% nucleotide identity and only 1 conserved amino acid substitution).

GENE FUNCTION

Wertz et al. (2004) reported that human DET1 (608727) promotes ubiquitination and degradation of the protooncogenic transcription factor c-Jun (165160) by assembling a multisubunit ubiquitin ligase containing DDB1, cullin 4A (CUL4A; 603137), regulator of cullins-1 (ROC1; 603814), and constitutively photomorphogenic-1 (COP1; 608067). Ablation of any subunit by RNA interference stabilized c-Jun and increased c-Jun-activated transcription. Wertz et al. (2004) concluded that their findings characterized a c-Jun ubiquitin ligase and define a specific function for DET1 in mammalian cells. By analyzing proteins that immunoprecipitated with anti-CENPA (117139) antibodies from HeLa cell nuclear lysates, Obuse et al. (2004) showed that DDB1 associated with a centromeric complex, which also contained the major centromeric proteins CENPB (117140), CENPC (117141), CENPH (605607), CENPI (300065), and MIS12 (609178), and many others. DDB1 colocalized with CENPA at centromeres throughout the cell cycle in HeLa cells; it appeared in both the cytoplasm and nucleus in interphase and associated with chromosomes in metaphase. By mass spectrometric analysis, Higa et al. (2006) identified over 20 WD40 repeat-containing (WDR) proteins that interacted with the CUL4-DDB1-ROC1 complex. Sequence alignment revealed that most of the interacting WDR proteins had a centrally positioned WDxR/K submotif. Knockdown studies suggested that the WD ... More on the omim web site
