Protein

Description
  • xeroderma pigmentosum group F complementing factor; DNA-repair protein complementing XPF cells 905 amino acids; form a stable complex with the ERCC1 protein; The XPF protein and the ERCC1 protein form a complex that exhibits structure specific endonuclease activity that is responsible for the 5' incision during the NER reaction. XPF-ERCC1 also binds to XPA (through ERCC1) and to RPA (through XPF) but not preferentially to damaged DNA. At the site of a lesion Nucleotide Excision Repair (NER) proteins create a DNA bubble structure over a length of approximately 25 nucleotides and the XPG protein incises the damaged DNA strand 0-2 nucleotides 3' to the ssDNA-dsDNA junction. In most studies the 3'-incision made by the XPG protein appeared to be made prior to and independently of the 5'-incision by XPF-ERCC1. XP-F patients have a relatively mild XP phenotype without neurological abnormalities. Cells from XP-F patients are slightly UV-sensitive and exhibit low levels of repair initially after UV-irradiation.
  • The XPF protein is a single-stranded DNA endonuclease that is also involved in a pathway of recombination repair of DNA interstrand crosslinks.
    • Homology Substantial homology with the eucaryotic DNA repair and recombination proteins MEI-9 (Drosophila melanogaster), Rad16 (Saccharomyces cerevisae) and Rad1 (Schizosaccharomyces pombe).
