Abstract excerpt
Excision repair cross complementing gene 1 (ERCC1) associated with xeroderma pigmentosum group F (XPF) is a heterodimeric endonuclease historically involved in the excision of bulky helix-distorting DNA lesions during nucleotide excision repair (NER) but also in the repair of DNA interstrand crosslinks. ERCC1 deficient mice show severe growth retardation associated with premature replicative senescence leading to...
