Structurally similar to damaged DNA binding proteins. DDB1a is part of a 350 KDa nuclear localized DET1 protein complex. This complex may physically interact with histone tails and while bound to chromatin- repress transcription of genes involved in photomorphogenesis. DDB1a is shown to be RUB-modified.

TAIR Curator Summary:
ASG2 is farnesylated protein and this post-translational modification impacts its subcellular localization. It is the homolog of the human anti-obesity factor WDTC1 and is involved in the negative regulation of fatty acid biosynthesis. The non-farnesylated form displays a nucleo-cytosolic subcellular localization. The farnesylated form displays a cytosolic subcellular localization. Interaction with At4g05420 (DDB1a) was shown using BiFC approach.
