Abstract excerpt
The Rad1-Rad10 nuclease of yeast and its human counterpart ERCC1-XPF are indispensable for nucleotide excision repair, where they act by cleaving the damaged DNA strand on the 5'-side of the lesion. Intriguingly, the ERCC1- and XPF-deficient mice show a severe postnatal growth defect and they die at approximately 3 wk after birth. Here we present genetic and biochemical evidence for the requirement of Rad1-Rad10...
