Probable substrate-specific adapter of a DCX (DDB1-CUL4-X-box) E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex, named CUL4A-RBX1-DDB1-DCAF1/VPRBP complex, which mediates ubiquitination and proteasome-dependent degradation of proteins such as NF2. Involved in the turnover of methylated proteins: recognizes and binds methylated proteins via its chromo domain, leading to ubiquitination of target proteins by the RBX1-DDB1-DCAF1/VPRBP complex (PubMed:23063525). The CUL4A-RBX1-DDB1-DCAF1/VPRBP complex is also involved in B-cell development: DCAF1 is recruited by RAG1 to ubiquitinate proteins, leading to limit error-prone repair during V(D)J recombination. Also part of the EDVP complex, an E3 ligase complex that mediates ubiquitination of proteins such as TERT, leading to TERT degradation and telomerase inhibition (PubMed:23362280). Also acts as an atypical serine/threonine-protein kinase that specifically mediates phosphorylation of 'Thr-120' of histone H2A (H2AT120ph) in a nucleosomal context, thereby repressing transcription. H2AT120ph is present in the regulatory region of many tumor suppresor genes, down-regulates their transcription and is present at high level in a number of tumors (PubMed:24140421). Involved in JNK-mediated apoptosis during cell competition process via its interaction with LLGL1 and LLGL2 (PubMed:20644714). (Microbial infection) In case of infection by HIV-1 virus, it is recruited by HIV-1 Vpr in order to hijack the CUL4A-RBX1-DDB1-DCAF1/VPRBP function leading to arrest the cell cycle in G2 phase, and also to protect the viral protein from proteasomal degradation by another E3 ubiquitin ligase. The HIV-1 Vpr protein hijacks the CUL4A-RBX1-DDB1-DCAF1/VPRBP complex to promote ubiquitination and degradation of proteins such as TERT and ZIP/ZGPAT. (Microbial infection) In case of infection by HIV-2 virus, it is recruited by HIV-2 Vpx in order to hijack the CUL4A-RBX1-DDB1-DCAF1/VPRBP function leading to enhanced efficiency of macrophage infection and promotion of the replication of cognate primate lentiviruses in cells of monocyte/macrophage lineage. Publication Abstract from PubMed The cullin-4-based RING-type (CRL4) family of E3 ubiquitin ligases functions together with dedicated substrate receptors. Out of the 29 CRL4 substrate receptors reported, the DDB1- and CUL4-associated factor 1 (DCAF1) is essential for cellular survival and growth, and its deregulation has been implicated in tumorigenesis. We carried out biochemical and structural studies to examine the structure and mechanism of the CRL4(DCAF1) ligase. In the 8.4 A cryo-EM map of CRL4(DCAF1) , four CUL4-RBX1-DDB1-DCAF1 protomers are organized into two dimeric sub-assemblies. In this arrangement, the WD40 domain of DCAF1 mediates binding with the cullin C-terminal domain (CTD) and the RBX1 subunit of a neighboring CRL4(DCAF1) protomer. This renders RBX1, the catalytic subunit of the ligase, inaccessible to the E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes. Upon CRL4(DCAF1) activation by neddylation, the interaction between the cullin CTD and the neighboring DCAF1 protomer is broken, and the complex assumes an active dimeric conformation. Accordingly, a tetramerization-deficient CRL4(DCAF1) mutant has higher ubiquitin ligase activity compared to the wild-type. This study identifies a novel mechanism by which unneddylated and substrate-free CUL4 ligases can be maintained in an inactive state. The CRL4(DCAF1) cullin-RING ubiquitin ligase is activated following a switch in oligomerization state.,Mohamed WI, Schenk AD, Kempf G, Cavadini S, Basters A, Potenza A, Abdul Rahman W, Rabl J, Reichermeier K, Thoma NH EMBO J. 2021 Nov 15;40(22):e108008. doi: 10.15252/embj.2021108008.
