Research Abstract |
The Cul4/DDB1 complex is a recently identified culling-RING ubiquitin ligase, which regulates DNA repair, DNA replication and transcription. We analyzed the potential functions of DDB1 in the responses to various DNA damaging agents using a conditional knockout DT40 cells. Furthermore, we found that the interaction between DDB1 and Cul4 is absolutely required for cell viability, suggesting an essential role of DDB1 as a component of Cul4/DDB1 ubiquitin E3 ligase.
