The Chk1 protein kinase preserves genome integrity in normal proliferating cells and in cells experiencing replicative- and genotoxic-stress. Chk1 is currently being targeted in anti-cancer regimens. Here we identify damaged DNA-binding protein 1 (DDB1) as a novel Chk1 interacting protein. DDB1 is part of an E3 ligase complex that includes the cullin proteins, Cul4A and 4B. We report that Cul4A/DDB1 negatively regulates Chk1 stability in vivo. Chk1 associates with Cul4A/DDB1 during an unperturbed cell division cycle and both Chk1 phosphorylation and replication-stress enhanced these interactions. Cul4A/DDB1 regulates Chk1 ubiquitination in vivo and Chk1 is directly ubiquitinated in vitro in a Cul4A/DDB1-dependent manner. Furthermore, Chk1 is stabilized in cells deficient for Cul4A/DDB1. This study demonstrates that Chk1 abundance is regulated by the Cul4A/DDB1 ubiquitin ligase during an unperturbed cell division cycle, in response to replicative stress and upon HSP90 inhibition and that deregulation of the Chk1/Cul4A/DDB1 pathway perturbs the IR-induced G2 checkpoint.
