Abstract excerpt
To provide an explanation of some clinical features observed within rare xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) patients and to further define the role of XPB, XPD, and cdk7, the three enzymatic subunits of TFIIH, in the transcription reaction, we have examined two defined enzymatic steps: phosphodiester bond formation and promoter escape. We provide evidence that the XPB helicase plays a dominant role in initiation, whereas...
