Denticleless E3 ubiquitin protein ligase homolog (Drosophila)
Gene Summary
DTL is required for CDT1 proteolysis in response to DNA damage through the CUL4-DDB1 E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase. It seems to be necessary to ensure proper cell cycle regulation of DNA replication. DTL may function as a substrate receptor for CUL4-DDB1 E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex. It also may play a role in cell proliferation of NT2 embryonal carcinoma cells.
