- Abstract
UV-DDB, consisting of subunits DDB1 and DDB2, recognizes UV-induced photoproducts during global genome nucleotide excision repair (GG-NER). We recently demonstrated a noncanonical role of UV-DDB in stimulating base excision repair (BER) which raised several questions about the timing of UV-DDB arrival at 8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG), and the dependency of UV-DDB on the recruitment of downstream BER and NER proteins. Using two different approaches to introduce 8-oxoG in cells, we show that DDB2 is recruited to 8-oxoG immediately after damage and colocalizes with 8-oxoG glycosylase (OGG1) at sites of repair. 8-oxoG removal and OGG1 recruitment is significantly reduced in the absence of DDB2. NER proteins, XPA and XPC, also accumulate at 8-oxoG. While XPC recruitment is dependent on DDB2, XPA recruitment is DDB2-independent and transcription-coupled. Finally, DDB2 accumulation at 8-oxoG induces local chromatin unfolding. We propose that DDB2-mediated chromatin decompaction facilitates the recruitment of downstream BER proteins to 8-oxoG lesions. Nucleotide excision repair proteins are involved in the repair of UV-induced DNA damage. Here, the authors show that NER proteins, DDB2, XPC, and XPA play a vital role in the 8-oxoguanine repair by coordinating with base excision repair protein OGG1.
