   FUNCTION: Core component of multiple cullin-RING-based E3
      ubiquitin-protein ligase complexes which mediate the
      ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of target
      proteins. As a scaffold protein may contribute to catalysis
      through positioning of the substrate and the ubiquitin-conjugating
      enzyme. The E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase activity of the complex is
      dependent on the neddylation of the cullin subunit and is
      inhibited by the association of the deneddylated cullin subunit
      with TIP120A/CAND1. The functional specificity of the E3
      ubiquitin-protein ligase complex depends on the variable substrate
      recognition component. DCX(DET1-COP1) directs ubiquitination of
      JUN. DCX(DDB2) directs ubiquitination of XPC. In association with
      RBX1, DDB1 and DDB2 is required for histone H3 and histone H4
      ubiquitination in response to ultraviolet and may be important for
      subsequent DNA repair. DCX(DTL) plays a role in PCNA-dependent
      polyubiquitination of CDT1 and MDM2-dependent ubiquitiantion of
      TP53 in response to radiation-induced DNA damage and during DNA
      replication. In association with DDB1 and SKP2 probably is
      involved in ubiquitination of CDKN1B/p27kip. Is involved in
      ubiquitination of HOXA9.
  
   SUBUNIT: Component of multiple DCX (DDB1-CUL4-X-box) E3 ubiquitin-
      protein ligase complexes that seem to be formed of DDB1, CUL4A or
      CUL4B, RBX1 and a variable substrate recognition component which
      seems to belong to a protein family described as DCAF (Ddb1- and
      Cul4-associated factor) or CDW (CUL4-DDB1-associated WD40-repeat)
      proteins. Component of the DCX(DET1-COP1) complex with the
      substrate recognition component DET1 and COP1. Component of the
      DCX(DDB2) complex with the substrate recognition component DDB2.
      Component of the DCX(ERCC8) complex with the putative substrate
      recognition component ERCC8. Component of the DCX(DTL) complex
      with the putative substrate recognition component DTL. Interacts
      with DDB1, RBX1, RNF7, CTD1, TIP120A/CAND1, SKP2, CDKN1B, MDM2,
      TP53 and HOXA9. Interacts with DDB2; the interactions with DDB2
      and CAND1 are mutually exclusive. Interacts with VPRBP, DTL, DDA1,
      DCAF6, DCAF4, DCAF16, DCAF17, DET1, WDTC1, DCAF5, DCAF11, WDR24A,
      RFWD2, PAFAH1B1, ERCC8, GRWD1, FBXW5, RBBP7, GNB2, WSB1, WSB2,
      NUP43, PWP1, FBXW8, ATG16L1, KATNB1, RBBP4, RBBP5 and DCAF8. May
      interact with WDR26, WDR51B, SNRNP40, WDR61, WDR76, WDR5. Can
      self-associate.
  
   INTERACTION:
      Q86VP6:CAND1; NbExp=2; IntAct=EBI-456106, EBI-456077;
      Q92466:DDB2; NbExp=1; IntAct=EBI-456106, EBI-1176171;
      Q15291:RBBP5; NbExp=1; IntAct=EBI-456106, EBI-592823;
  
   PTM: Neddylated. Deneddylated via its interaction with the COP9
      signalosome (CSN) complex (By similarity).
  
   SIMILARITY: Belongs to the cullin family.
