IHC image of ab51017 staining in human normal cervical carcinoma formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue section, performed on a Leica BondTM system using the standard protocol F. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution 1) for 20 mins. The section was then incubated with ab51017, 5µg/ml, for 15 mins at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX.

For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated) customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, primary antibody concentration and antibody incubation times.

Supplementary information

DDB2 also known as DNA damage-binding protein 2 plays a mechanical role in the nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathway. It is a part of the UV-damaged DNA-binding protein complex and assists in recognizing and cutting damaged DNA. The mass of DDB2 is approximately 48 kDa. The expression of DDB2 occurs broadly but it shows enhanced expression in tissues exposed to UV light like skin.
Biological function summary

Engagement in DNA repair mechanisms allows DDB2 to help maintain genomic stability. It forms a critical part of the DDB1-DDB2 complex which collaborates with other proteins in the initial damage recognition step of NER. This involvement ensures the repair of UV-induced damage and bulky DNA adducts preventing mutations that can cause harmful genetic alterations.

Pathways

The involvement of DDB2 is important within the nucleotide excision repair and transcription-coupled repair pathways. In these pathways DDB2 partners with proteins such as XPC and XPA facilitating the recognition and verification of DNA damage. These interactions ensure an accurate and efficient repair process protecting cells from potential genotoxic stress.

DDB2 has relevance to skin cancer and xeroderma pigmentosum. Among these mutations or dysregulation involving DDB2 can lead to skin cancer due to impaired DNA repair response to UV damage. It connects to p53 a protein that regulates the cell cycle and likewise contributes to cellular responses against DNA damage. In xeroderma pigmentosum defects in components of the NER pathway including DDB2 lead to extreme sensitivity to sunlight and subsequent skin abnormalities.

Target data

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 : 10882109, PubMed : 11278856, PubMed : 11705987, PubMed : 12732143, PubMed : 15882621, PubMed : 16473935, PubMed : 18593899, PubMed : 32789493, PubMed : 9892649). 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 : 10882109, PubMed : 11278856, PubMed : 11705987, PubMed : 12944386, PubMed : 14751237, PubMed : 16260596, PubMed : 32789493). The UV-DDB complex preferentially binds to cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPD), 6-4 photoproducts (6-4 PP), apurinic sites and short mismatches (PubMed : 10882109, PubMed : 11278856, PubMed : 11705987, PubMed : 12944386, PubMed : 16260596). Also functions as the substrate recognition module for the DCX (DDB2-CUL4-X-box) E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex DDB2-CUL4-ROC1 (also known as CUL4-DDB-ROC1 and CUL4-DDB-RBX1) (PubMed : 12732143, PubMed : 15882621, PubMed : 16473935, PubMed : 18593899, PubMed : 26572825). The DDB2-CUL4-ROC1 complex may ubiquitinate histone H2A, histone H3 and histone H4 at sites of UV-induced DNA damage (PubMed : 16473935, PubMed : 16678110). The ubiquitination of histones may facilitate their removal from the nucleosome and promote subsequent DNA repair (PubMed : 16473935, PubMed : 16678110). The DDB2-CUL4-ROC1 complex also ubiquitinates XPC, which may enhance DNA-binding by XPC and promote NER (PubMed : 15882621). The DDB2-CUL4-ROC1 complex also ubiquitinates KAT7/HBO1 in response to DNA damage, leading to its degradation : recognizes KAT7/HBO1 following phosphorylation by ATR (PubMed : 26572825).. Isoform D1. Inhibits UV-damaged DNA repair.. Isoform D2. Inhibits UV-damaged DNA repair.
