16 Dec 2002
Abstract excerpt
Ercc1 is essential for nucleotide excision repair (NER) but, unlike other NER proteins, Ercc1 and Xpf are also involved in recombination repair pathways. Ercc1 knockout mice have profound cell cycle abnormalities in the liver and die before weaning. Subsequently Xpa and Xpc knockouts have proved to be good models for the human NER deficiency disease, xeroderma pigmentosum, leading to speculation that the...
