Function

DNA excision repair protein. 3-5 ATP-dependent helicase activity involved in excision DNA repair and initiation of basal transcription
  • The XPB protein displays a 3-5 helicase activity. This protein is a subunit of the basal transcription factor TFIIH involved in both Nucleotide Excision Repair (NER) and the initiation of RNA polymerase II . Indeed, TFIIH fulfills a dual role in transcription initiation and NER and the role of TFIIH in NER might closely mimic its role in the transcription initiation process. In transcription initiation TFIIH is thought to be involved in unwinding of the promoter site to allowing promoter clearance. In the NER process TFIIH causes unwinding of the lesion-containing region that has been localized by XPC-HR23B and XPA-RPA, enabling the accumulation of NER proteins around the damaged site.
  • Among the Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) patients, XPB patients are extremely rare (only 3 patients known in the world) due to the fact that the XPB gene product is essential for transcription initiation and in all cases, these patients show the double symptoms of Xeroderma pigmentosum and Cockayne syndrome (CS) (see below).
