Human damaged DNA-binding protein (DDB) is a
heterodimer of p48/DDB2 and p127/DDB1 subunits. Mutations in DDB2 are
responsible for Xeroderma Pigmentosum group E, but no mutants of
mammalian DDB1 have been described. To study DDB1, the
Schizosaccharomyces pombe DDB1 sequence homologue
(ddb1+) was cloned, and a ddb1
deletion strain was constructed. The gene is not essential; however,
mutant cells showed a 37% impairment in colony-forming ability, an
elongated phenotype, and abnormal nuclei. The ddb1

strain was sensitive to UV irradiation, X-rays, methylmethane
sulfonate, and thiabendazole, and these sensitivities were compared
with those of the well characterized rad13
,
rhp51
, and cds1
mutant strains. Ddb1p
showed nuclear and nucleolar localization, and the aberrant nuclear
structures observed in the ddb1
strain suggest a role
for Ddb1p in chromosome segregation.
