Hydrogen peroxide induced genomic instability in nucleotide excision repair-deficient lymphoblastoid cells [PDF]
Copyright @ 2010 Gopalakrishnan et al; licensee BioMed Central Ltd.Background The Nucleotide Excision Repair (NER) pathway specialises in UV-induced DNA damage repair. Inherited defects in the NER can predispose individuals to Xeroderma Pigmentosum (XP).

Xeroderma Pigmentosum: Clinical and Genetic Features and Therapeutic Approaches
Xeroderma pigmentosum is rare genetic disorder characterized by increased skin sensitivity to damaging ultraviolet (UV) light. First symptoms manifest at early age in most cases (up to 75%).

Transcription-associated breaks in Xeroderma Pigmentosum group D cells from patients with combined features of Xeroderma Pigmentosum and Cockayne Syndrome [PDF]
Defects in the XPD gene can result in several clinical phenotypes, including xeroderma pigmentosum (XP), trichothiodystrophy, and, less frequently, the combined phenotype of XP and Cockayne syndrome (XP-D/CS).

Structure and mechanism of human DNA polymerase η [PDF]
The variant form of the human syndrome xeroderma pigmentosum (XPV) is caused by a deficiency in DNA polymerase eta (Pol eta), a DNA polymerase that enables replication through ultraviolet-induced pyrimidine dimers.

Translesion synthesis in mammalian cells [PDF]
DNA damage blocks the progression of the replication fork. In order to circumvent the damaged bases, cells employ specialized low stringency DNA polymerases, which are able to carry out translesion synthesis (TLS) past different types of damage. The five

TGF-β signaling links E-cadherin loss to suppression of nucleotide excision repair. [PDF]
E-cadherin is a cell adhesion molecule best known for its function in suppressing tumor progression and metastasis. Here we show that E-cadherin promotes nucleotide excision repair through positively regulating the expression of xeroderma pigmentosum ...

A semi-automated non-radiactive system for measuring recovery of RNA synthesis and unscheduled DNA synthesis using ethynyluracil derivatives [PDF]
Nucleotide excision repair (NER) removes the major UV-photolesions from cellular DNA. In humans, compromised NER activity is the cause of several photosensitive diseases, one of which is the skin-cancer predisposition disorder, xeroderma pigmentosum (XP).

Xeroderma Pigmentosum A Multidisciplinary Approach [PDF]
Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) is a rare, autosomal recessive disorder of DNA repair. Affected individuals are unable to repair ultraviolet radiation (UVR)-induced DNA damage, leading to a variety of clinical manifestations: a dramatic increase in ...
