Function

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:14739464, PubMed:15448697, PubMed:16260596, PubMed:16407242, PubMed:16407252, PubMed:16482215, PubMed:16940174, PubMed:17079684). 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:18332868, PubMed:18381890, PubMed:19966799, PubMed:22118460, PubMed:25043012, PubMed:25108355, 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:18332868, PubMed:18381890, PubMed:19966799, PubMed:22118460, PubMed:25043012, PubMed:25108355). DCX(DDB2) (also known as DDB1-CUL4-ROC1, CUL4-DDB-ROC1 and CUL4-DDB-RBX1) may ubiquitinate histone H2A, histone H3 and histone H4 at sites of UV-induced DNA damage (PubMed:16473935, PubMed:16678110, PubMed:17041588, PubMed:18593899). The ubiquitination of histones may facilitate their removal from the nucleosome and promote subsequent DNA repair (PubMed:16473935, PubMed:16678110, PubMed:17041588, PubMed:18593899). DCX(DDB2) also ubiquitinates XPC, which may enhance DNA-binding by XPC and promote NER (PubMed:15882621). DCX(DTL) plays a role in PCNA-dependent polyubiquitination of CDT1 and MDM2-dependent ubiquitination of TP53 in response to radiation-induced DNA damage and during DNA replication (PubMed:17041588). DCX(ERCC8) (the CSA complex) plays a role in transcription-coupled repair (TCR) (PubMed:12732143). The DDB1-CUL4A-DTL E3 ligase complex regulates the circadian clock function by mediating the ubiquitination and degradation of CRY1 (PubMed:26431207). DDB1-mediated CRY1 degradation promotes FOXO1 protein stability and FOXO1-mediated gluconeogenesis in the liver (By similarity). By acting on TET dioxygenses, essential for oocyte maintenance at the primordial follicle stage, hence essential for female fertility (By similarity). Maternal factor required for proper zygotic genome activation and genome reprogramming (By similarity).

Notes


Recognizes the large subunit of DNA damage-binding protein - functions in nucleotide-excision repair. Its defective activity causes the repair defect in the patients with xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group E (XPE).

DDB-1 (damage-specific DNA binding protein 1) is also known as: DDBA; XAP1; XPCE; XPE-BF;UV-DDB1

Activity summary

DDB1 also known as Damage-Specific DNA Binding Protein 1 and DDB00A acts mechanically by recognizing and binding to DNA damage sites particularly UV-induced lesions. It functions as part of the UV-damaged DNA-binding protein complex. DDB1 has a molecular weight of approximately 127 kDa. It expresses in various tissues prominently in cells that are actively cycling. The protein often cooperates with other proteins to promote DNA repair and maintenance of genomic stability.

Biological function summary

In terms of cellular processes beyond DDB1's immediate interactions it plays a critical role in DNA repair mechanisms and the cell cycle. DDB1 is part of the larger CUL4-DDB1 ubiquitin ligase complex which targets specific proteins for ubiquitination and subsequent degradation therefore facilitating DNA repair and regulating cell cycle progression. This ability to target damaged proteins or signaling errors for removal helps maintain cellular health and preserve genetic information integrity.

Pathways

DDB1 is pivotal in the nucleotide excision repair pathway and the DNA damage response pathway. It interacts dynamically with proteins such as XPC (xeroderma pigmentosum group C) to initiate repair mechanisms ensuring the proper removal of damaged DNA sections. Moreover DDB1's role in ubiquitination connects it to pathways regulating protein turnover and cellular homeostasis interacting with the ubiquitin-proteasome system which is important for controlling protein degradation.

Associated diseases and disorders

DDB1's malfunction or misregulation associates with conditions like xeroderma pigmentosum due to its role in DNA damage repair. It is also linked to certain cancer types where DNA repair deficiencies contribute to uncontrolled cell proliferation. Through these diseases DDB1 often interacts with proteins such as BRWD3 which may modulate DDB1's activity or stability influencing the disease outcomes by affecting the DNA repair capacity or recognizing specific proteins for degradation.
