Abstract excerpt
The nucleotide excision repair (NER) is one of the major human DNA repair pathways. Defects in one of the proteins that act in this system result in three distinct autosomal recessive syndromes: xeroderma pigmentosum (XP), Cockayne syndrome (CS) and trichothiodystrophy (TTD). TFIIH is a nine-protein complex essential for NER activity, initiation of RNA polymerase II transcription and with a possible role in cell...
