A 3′→ 5′ XPB Helicase Defect in Repair/Transcription Factor TFIIH of Xeroderma Pigmentosum Group B Affects Both DNA Repair and Transcription
1 Jul 1996
Abstract excerpt
XPB is a subunit of the basal transcription factor TFIIH, which is also involved in nucleotide excision repair (NER) and potentially in cell cycle regulation. A frameshift mutation in the 3'-end of the XPB gene is responsible for a concurrence of two disorders: xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) and Cockayne's syndrome (CS). We have isolated TFIIH from cells derived from a patient (XP11BE) who carries this frameshift...
