| Type: | Family | Name: | DNA damage-binding protein 1 |
| Description: | This entry represents the DNA damage-binding protein 1 (DDB1) family, whose members are involved in DNA repair.The fission yeast members in this family includes Rik1 and Ddb1. Rik1 is a component of the Rik1-associated E3 ubiquitin ligase complex that shows ubiquitin ligase activity and is required for histone H3K9 methylation []. Ddb1 is a component of cullin 4A ubiquitin ligases, which regulates the selective proteolysis of key proteins in DNA repair, replication and transcription [, ]. Mammalian Ddb1 is apart of the CUL4-DDB1 ubiquitin E3 ligase that regulates cell-cycle progression, replication and DNA damage response. The CUL4-DDB1 ubiquitin E3 ligase interacts with multiple WD40-repeat proteins and regulates histone methylation []. The plant Ddb1 is part of the CUL4-DDB1-DDB2 E3 ligase involved in maintaining genome integrity upon UV stress []. | Short Name: | DDB1 |
