Abstract excerpt
XPB helicase is an integral part of transcription factor TFIIH, required for both transcription initiation and nucleotide excision repair (NER). Along with the XPD helicase, XPB plays a crucial but only partly understood role in defining and extending the DNA repair bubble around lesions in NER. Archaea encode clear homologues of XPB and XPD, and structural studies of these proteins have yielded key insights...
