Domains in the XPA protein important in its role as a processivity factor
چکیده انگلیسی

XPA is a protein essential for nucleotide excision repair (NER) where it is thought to function in damage recognition/verification. We have proposed an additional role, that of a processivity factor, conferring a processive mechanism of action on XPF and XPG, the endonucleases, involved in NER. The present study was undertaken to examine the domain(s) in the XPA gene that are important for the ability of the XPA protein to function as a processivity factor. Using site-directed mutagenesis, mutations were created in several of the exons of XPA and mutant XPA proteins produced. The results showed that the DNA binding domain of XPA is critical for its ability to act as a processivity factor. Mutations in both the zinc finger motif and the large basic cleft in this domain eliminated the ability of XPA to confer a processive mechanism of action on the endonucleases involved in NER.
