Abstract excerpt
In most cases, xeroderma pigmentosum group D (XP-D) and trichothiodystrophy (TTD) patients carry mutations in the carboxy-terminal domain of the evolutionarily conserved helicase XPD, which is one of the subunits of the transcription/repair factor TFIIH (refs 1,2). In this study, we demonstrate that XPD interacts specifically with p44, another subunit of TFIIH, and that this interaction results in the stimulation...
