Summary
The protein encoded by this gene is the large subunit (p127) of the heterodimeric DNA damage-binding (DDB) complex while another protein (p48) forms the small subunit. This protein complex functions in nucleotide-excision repair and binds to DNA following UV damage. Defective activity of this complex causes the repair defect in patients with xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group E (XPE) - an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by photosensitivity and early onset of carcinomas. However, it remains for mutation analysis to demonstrate whether the defect in XPE patients is in this gene or the gene encoding the small subunit. In addition, Best vitelliform mascular dystrophy is mapped to the same region as this gene on 11q, but no sequence alternations of this gene are demonstrated in Best disease patients. The protein encoded by this gene also functions as an adaptor molecule for the cullin 4 (CUL4) ubiquitin E3 ligase complex by facilitating the binding of substrates to this complex and the ubiquitination of proteins.

Rev rev HIV-1 Rev interacting protein, DNA damage-binding protein 1 (DDB1), is identified by the in-vitro binding experiments involving cytosolic or nuclear extracts from HeLa cells. The interaction of Rev with DDB1 is increased by RRE PubMed
Vif vif HIV-1 Vif interacts with DDB1; interaction predicted to be relevant to proteolysis PubMed
Vpr vpr DDB1-specific shRNA silencing demonstrates that DDB1 enhances TNF-alpha secretion from wild type HIV-1(NL43) infected AND delta-vpr HIV-infected MT4C5 cells suggesting that DDB1 enhances TNF-alpha release from HIV-1-infected cells independently of Vpr PubMed
vpr HIV-1 Vpr binds a ternary complex composed of DDB1, DDA1, and VprBP, and modulates the interaction between the DDB1-DDA1-VprBP complex and other factors PubMed
vpr Upregulation of NKG2D ligands is dependent on HIV-1 Vpr-mediated activation of the TAR DNA damage/stress pathway, which requires the recruitment of the Cul4/DDB1/DCAF1 E3 ubiquitin ligase complex PubMed
vpr HIV-1 Vpr-mediated UNG2 degradation and constitutive UNG2 turnover are dependent on DCAF1 or DDB1 but not on CUL4a or CUL4B in the cullin4 (CUL4)-containing ubiquitin ligase complex in HEK293T cells PubMed
vpr The minimal domain (residues 1041-1393) of DCAF1, which contains the motifs required for proper recruitment of both Vpr and DDB1, is not sufficient to support Vpr-mediated G2 arrest activity PubMed
vpr The two WD-40 motifs (residues 1041-1393) in the C-terminal region of DCAF1 form a complex with HIV-1 Vpr and DDB1. The double mutant DCAF1 R1247/1283A completely abolishes its ability to bind both Vpr and DDB1 PubMed
vpr Co-immunoprecipitation and glycerol-gradient sedimentation demonstrate that HIV-1 Vpr, VPRBP, DDB1, SLX4, MUS81, EME1, ERCC1, and ERCC4 form a complex PubMed
vpr Mutation of Trp18, Gln65, and His71 residues in HIV-1 Vpr abrogates DDB1-DCAF1 binding and Vpr-induced cell cycle arrest PubMed
vpr The interaction of Vpr with DDB1 facilitates the formation of complexes containing Cul4A-Roc1 E3 ubiquitin ligase. The association of Vpr with DDB1-containing E3 ligase mediates the degradation of UNG2 and SMUG1 PubMed
vpr The interaction between Vpr and the Cul4A-DDB1-VprBP complex is required for the induction of G2 arrest PubMed
vpr HIV-1 Vpr-induced downregulation of Dicer is not dependent on G2 cell cycle arrest but on the Cul4A-DCAF1-DDB1 ubiquitin ligase complex PubMed
vpr HIV-1 Vpr-mediated upregulation of PVR (CD155) requires the interaction of Vpr with the DDB1-Cul4A E3 ligase and induction of ATR-mediated DNA damage repair and G2 arrest PubMed
vpr The interaction of HIV-1 Vpr with the EDVP E3 ligase complex (EDD, DDB1, and VPRBP) promotes Vpr-mediated downregulation of TERT protein PubMed
vpr HIV-1 Vpr co-localizes with the Cul4A ubiquitin ligase complex (Cul4A, DCAF1, and DDB1) in the cellular chromatin compartment PubMed
vpr HIV-1 Vpr significantly downregulates expression level of MFN2 in the mitochondria via VprBP-DDB1-CUL4A ubiquitin ligase in a proteasome-dependent manner PubMed
vpr HIV-1 Vpr binds the Cul4A-DDB1-VprBP complex and increases the levels of neddylated Cul4A in that complex only PubMed
vpr DDB1 overexpression enables G2 cell cycle arrest by both HIV-1 Vpr and its carboxy-terminally truncated form C81 PubMed
vpr HIV-1 Vpr(Q65R) mutant, which is defective in Cul4A-DDB1 (DCAF1) binding, undergoes proteasome-mediated degradation at a higher rate than wild-type Vpr. DCAF1 overexpression stabilizes wild-type Vpr and leads to its cytoplasmic accumulation PubMed
vpr DCAF1 interacts with DDB1 as well as the Vpr-UNG2 complex, which leads to polyubiquitination of UNG2 via Vpr PubMed
vpr HIV-1 Vpr interferes with the interaction of DDB1 and DDB2 in cells PubMed
vpr HIV-1 Vpr interacts with damage-specific DNA-binding protein 1 (DDB1) in cells. L64P mutation in DDB1 fails to interact efficiently with Vpr PubMed

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
