Polymerase η deficiency in the xeroderma pigmentosum variant uncovers an overlap between the S phase checkpoint and double-strand break repair
20 Jun 2000
Abstract excerpt
The xeroderma pigmentosum variant (XPV) is a genetic disease involving high levels of solar-induced cancer that has normal excision repair but shows defective DNA replication after UV irradiation because of mutations in the damage-specific polymerase hRAD30. We previously found that the induction of sister chromatid exchanges by UV irradiation was greatly enhanced in transformed XPV cells, indicating the...
