Abstract excerpt
ERCC1-XPF, through its role in nucleotide excision repair (NER), is essential for the repair of DNA damage caused by UV light. ERCC1-XPF is also involved in recombinational repair processes distinct from NER. In rodent cells chromosome aberrations are a common consequence of UV irradiation. We have previously shown that ERCC1-deficient cells have a lower ratio of chromatid exchanges to breaks than wild type...
