Expression of the <i>p48</i> xeroderma pigmentosum gene is p53-dependent and is involved in global genomic repair
19 Jan 1999
Abstract excerpt
In human cells, efficient global genomic repair of DNA damage induced by ultraviolet radiation requires the p53 tumor suppressor, but the mechanism has been unclear. The p48 gene is required for expression of an ultraviolet radiation-damaged DNA binding activity and is disrupted by mutations in the subset of xeroderma pigmentosum group E cells that lack this activity. Here, we show that p48 mRNA levels strongly...
