  • Descrição: The ERCC1-XPF heterodimer is a structure-specific endonuclease and plays multiple roles in various DNA repair pathways including nucleotide excision repair and also telomere maintenance. The dimer formation, which is mediated by their C-terminal helix-hairpin-helix regions, is essential for their endonuclease activity as well as the stability of each protein. However, the detailed mechanism of how a cellular level of ERCC1-XPF is regulated still remains elusive. Here, we report the identification of DDB1- and CUL4-associated factor 7 (DCAF7, also known as WDR68/HAN11) as a novel interacting protein of ERCC1-XPF by mass spectrometry after tandem purification. Immunoprecipitation experiments confirmed their interaction and suggested dominant association of DCAF7 with XPF but not ERCC1. Interestingly, siRNA-mediated knockdown of DCAF7, but not DDB1, attenuated the cellular level of ERCC1-XPF, which is partly dependent on proteasome. The depletion of TCP1α, one of components of the molecular chaperon TRiC/CCT known to interact with DCAF7 and promote its folding, also reduced ERCC1-XPF level. Finally, we show that the depletion of DCAF7 causes inefficient repair of UV-induced (6–4) photoproducts, which can be rescued by ectopic overexpression of XPF or ERCC1-XPF. Altogether, our results strongly suggest that DCAF7 is a novel regulator of ERCC1-XPF protein level and cellular nucleotide excision repair activity.
