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. [DCAF4_HUMAN] May function as a substrate receptor for CUL4-DDB1 E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex. Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMed The cullin 4-DNA-damage-binding protein 1 (CUL4-DDB1) ubiquitin ligase machinery regulates diverse cellular functions and can be subverted by pathogenic viruses. Here we report the crystal structure of DDB1 in complex with a central fragment of hepatitis B virus X protein (HBx), whose DDB1-binding activity is important for viral infection. The structure reveals that HBx binds DDB1 through an alpha-helical motif, which is also found in the unrelated paramyxovirus SV5-V protein despite their sequence divergence. Our structure-based functional analysis suggests that, like SV5-V, HBx captures DDB1 to redirect the ubiquitin ligase activity of the CUL4-DDB1 E3 ligase. We also identify the alpha-helical motif shared by these viral proteins in the cellular substrate-recruiting subunits of the E3 complex, the DDB1-CUL4-associated factors (DCAFs) that are functionally mimicked by the viral hijackers. Together, our studies reveal a common yet promiscuous structural element that is important for the assembly of cellular and virally hijacked CUL4-DDB1 E3 complexes. A promiscuous alpha-helical motif anchors viral hijackers and substrate receptors to the CUL4-DDB1 ubiquitin ligase machinery.,Li T, Robert EI, van Breugel PC, Strubin M, Zheng N Nat Struct Mol Biol. 2010 Jan;17(1):105-11.
