Abstract excerpt
XPG belongs to the Fen1 family of structure-specific nucleases and is responsible for the 3' endonucleolytic incision during mammalian nucleotide excision repair. In addition, it has ill-defined roles in the transcription-coupled repair of oxidative DNA damage and likely also in transcription that are independent of its nuclease activity. We have used DNA binding and footprinting assays with various substrates to...
