Abstract excerpt
Damage-specific DNA binding (DDB) activity purifies from HeLa cells as a heterodimer (p127 and p48) and is absent from cells of a subset (Ddb(-)) of xeroderma pigmentosum Group E (XPE) patients. Each subunit was overexpressed in insect cells and purified. Both must be present for the damaged DNA band shift characteristic of the HeLa heterodimer. However, overexpressed p48 peptides containing the mutations found...
