CULLIN 4 (CUL4)-DAMAGED DNA binding protein 1 (DDB1)-based ubiquitin E3 ligase modulates diverse cellular processes including repair of damaged genomic DNA. In this study, an uncharacterized gene termed as DDB1-Interacting protein 2 (DDI2) was identified in yeast two-hybrid screening with bait gene DDB1. The co-immunoprecipitation (co-IP) assays further demonstrated that DDI2 is associated with tomato DDB1-CUL4 complex in vivo. It appears that DDI2 encodes an ortholog of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA). Confocal microscope observation indicated that DDI2-GFP fusion protein was localized in nuclei. The expression of DDI2 gene is constitutive but substantially enhanced by UV-C irradiation. The transgenic tomato plants with overexpression or knockdown of DDI2 gene displayed the increased or decreased tolerance, respectively, to UV-C stress and chemical mutagen cisplatin. The quantitative analysis of UV-induced DNA lesions indicated that the dark repair of DNA damage was accelerated in DD12 overexpression lines but delayed in knockdown lines. Conclusively, tomato DD12 gene is required for UV-induced DNA damage repair and plant tolerance to UV stress. In addition, fruits of DD12 transgenic plants are indistinguishable from that of wild type, regarding fresh weight and nutrient quality. Therefore, overexpression of DDI2 offers a suitable strategy for genetic manipulation of enhancing plant tolerance to UV stress. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
