DDB Accumulates at DNA Damage Sites Immediately after UV Irradiation and Directly Stimulates Nucleotide Excision Repair
1 Jan 2002
Abstract excerpt
Damaged DNA-binding protein, DDB, is a heterodimer of p127 and p48 with a high specificity for binding to several types of DNA damage. Mutations in the p48 gene that cause the loss of DDB activity were found in a subset of xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group E (XP-E) patients and have linked to the deficiency in global genomic repair of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) in these cells. Here we show...
