Abstract excerpt
Xeroderma pigmentosum group C (XPC) protein plays a key role in DNA damage recognition in global genome nucleotide excision repair (NER). The protein forms in vivo a heterotrimeric complex involving one of the two human homologs of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Rad23p and centrin 2, a centrosomal protein. Because centrin 2 is dispensable for the cell-free NER reaction, its role in NER has been unclear. Binding...
