DTX3L
Deltex E3 ubiquitin ligase 3L is a protein that in humans is encoded by the DTX3L gene. It functions as an ubiquitin ligase (E3), and is over-expressed in chemotherapy-resistant lymphomas. It is a member of the DTX family of proteins. Among other roles it has a function in DNA damage repair.
It was discovered through two-hybrid screening during a search for binding partners of PARP9 (formerly BAL), a gene related to the risk of B-cell lymphoma. and was originally named BBAP (B-lymphoma- and BAL-associated protein).
DTX3L and PARP9 are both located in the same 48kB region of the genome, and are both regulated by a IFN-γ-responsive bidirectional promoter. DTX3L has a long N-terminus domain distinct from other DTX-family proteins that allows it form dimers with itself and other proteins. It has been found to be up-regulated by METTL3.
