Abstract excerpt
Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) is a genetic disease characterized by hypersensitivity to UV irradiation and high incidence of skin cancer caused by inherited defects in DNA repair. Mutational malfunction of damaged-DNA binding protein 2 (DDB2) causes the XP complementation group E (XP-E). DDB2 together with DDB1 comprises a heterodimer called DDB complex, which is involved in damaged-DNA binding and nucleotide...
