Function

DNA 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 (in darkmagenta and magenta, respectively), they are derivatives from parent compound THYMIDINE-5'-MONOPHOSPHATE.[1]

Disease

Defective activity of DDB2 causes the repair defects in patients with XPE - an autosomal disorder characterized by early onset of cancer and photosensitivity.

Human DDB1 (cyan) and DDB2 (green) complex with DNA, and tetraethylene glycol (PDB code 3ei1).
