3D Structures of DNA damage-binding protein
Updated on 07-February-2016
FunctionDNA damage-binding protein (DDB) functions in nucleotide excision repair. It prevents UV damage to DNA. DDB is a heterodimer composed of the large DDB1 and the smaller DNA-binding DDB2. DNA in this complex with DDB1 and DDB2 contains modified compounds 5PY and 64T, they are derivatives from parent compound THYMIDINE-5'-MONOPHOSPHATE. DiseaseDefective activity of DDB2 causes the repair defects in patients with XPE - an autosomal disorder characterized by early onset of cancer and photosensitivity.
