Abstract excerpt
A damage-specific DNA binding protein (DDB) activity is absent from a subset (DDB(-)) of cells from individuals initially classified as group E of xeroderma pigmentosum (XP), a hereditary, photosensitive disease with a high incidence of skin malignancies. In these cases, mutations have been identified in the DDB2 gene (DDB2(-)) that codes for the small subunit, p48, of the DDB heterodimer. In four DDB2(-...
