== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/DDB1_HUMAN DDB1_HUMAN] Required for DNA repair. Binds to DDB2 to form the UV-damaged DNA-binding protein complex (the UV-DDB complex). The UV-DDB complex may recognize UV-induced DNA damage and recruit proteins of the nucleotide excision repair pathway (the NER pathway) to initiate DNA repair. The UV-DDB complex preferentially binds to cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPD), 6-4 photoproducts (6-4 PP), apurinic sites and short mismatches. Also appears to function 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. The functional specificity of the DCX E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex is determined by the variable substrate recognition component recruited by DDB1. 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. The ubiquitination of histones may facilitate their removal from the nucleosome and promote subsequent DNA repair. DCX(DDB2) also ubiquitinates XPC, which may enhance DNA-binding by XPC and promote NER. 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. DCX(ERCC8) (the CSA complex) plays a role in transcription-coupled repair (TCR). May also play a role in ubiquitination of CDKN1B/p27kip when associated with CUL4 and SKP2.<ref>PMID:12732143</ref> <ref>PMID:15448697</ref> <ref>PMID:14739464</ref> <ref>PMID:15882621</ref> <ref>PMID:16260596</ref> <ref>PMID:16482215</ref> <ref>PMID:17079684</ref> <ref>PMID:16407242</ref> <ref>PMID:16407252</ref> <ref>PMID:16678110</ref> <ref>PMID:16940174</ref> <ref>PMID:17041588</ref> <ref>PMID:16473935</ref> <ref>PMID:18593899</ref> <ref>PMID:18381890</ref> <ref>PMID:18332868</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Lysine acetyltransferases (KATs) cooperate with oncogenes such as c-Myc, estrogen receptor, and lysine methyltransferase 2A (KMT2A) fusions to sustain malignant programs. Targeting of KAT proteins has shown clinical efficacy; however, achieving homolog selectivity for most KATs remains a major challenge. By extending cereblon (CRBN)-based molecular glues beyond the canonical degron space, we developed an exquisitely selective degrader of KAT2A. Cryo-electron microscopy revealed that CRBN recruits KAT2A independently of a degron; instead, the molecular glue engages a surface-exposed tyrosine, mimicking antibody-like molecular recognition. Selective KAT2A degradation leads to potent ablation of histone H3 lysine 9 acetylation (H3K9Ac), antiproliferative effects in acute myeloid leukemia cell lines, and in vivo efficacy in a patient-derived xenograft model, establishing KAT2A as a targetable vulnerability to treat a wide range of malignancies. More generally, degron-independent recruitment extends the CRBN-targetable proteome.

Degron-independent recruitment of KAT2A expands the target space of CRBN molecular glues.,Ojeda S, Wang M, Baek K, Bourgeois W, Sommerschield A, Yue H, Metivier RJ, Karagiannis P, Levitz TS, Xiong Y, Donovan KA, Armstrong SA, Fischer ES Science. 2026 Jul 9;393(6807):188-194. doi: 10.1126/science.aef5391.
