The xeroderma pigmentosum group D (XPD) protein has a dual function, both in nucleotide excision repair of DNA damage and in basal transcription. Mutations in the XPD gene can result in three distinct clinical phenotypes, XP, trichothiodystrophy (TTD), and XP with Cockayne syndrome. To determine if the clinical phenotypes of XP and TTD can be attributed to the sites of the mutations, we have identified the mutations in a large group of TTD and XP-D patients. Most sites of mutations differed between XP and TTD, but there are three sites at which the same mutation is found in XP and TTD patients. Since the corresponding patients were all compound heterozygotes with different mutations in the two alleles, the alleles were tested separately in a yeast complementation assay. The mutations which are found in both XP and TTD patients behaved as null alleles, suggesting that the disease phenotype was determined by the other allele. If we eliminate the null mutations, the remaining mutagenic pattern is ...
In xeroderma pigmentosum, a rare genodermatosis, transmitted as an autosomal recessive disorder, excessive solar damage to the skin develops at an early age. The disease is characterized by cutaneous, ocular, neurological and oral changes. Oral features in the form of early development of Squamous cell carcinoma, usually at the lower lip and tip of the tongue may be seen. The disorder is associated more commonly in populations where marriage of close blood relatives is common. Treatment of the disorder includes avoidance of Ultra violet radiation, topical application of 5 fluorouracil to treat actinic keratoses, and regular evaluation by an optholmologist, dermatologist, and neurologist. Genetic counseling is an important aspect as an increased incidence of consanguineous marriages have been reported with this disorder. Here, we report an interesting case of xeroderma pigmentosum in an 18 year old male patient who presented with characterstic desquamation of gingiva, fissured tongue and geoghraphic

While investigating the novel anticancer drug ecteinascidin 743 (Et743), a natural marine product isolated from the Caribbean sea squirt, we discovered a new cell-killing mechanism mediated by DNA nucleotide excision repair (NER). A cancer cell line selected for resistance to Et743 had chromosome alterations in a region that included the gene implicated in the hereditary disease xeroderma pigmentosum (XPG, also known as Ercc5). Complementation with wild-type XPG restored the drug sensitivity. Xeroderma pigmentosum cells deficient in the NER genes XPG, XPA, XPD or XPF were resistant to Et743, and sensitivity was restored by complementation with wild-type genes. Moreover, studies of cells deficient in XPC or in the genes implicated in Cockayne syndrome (CSA and CSB) indicated that the drug sensitivity is specifically dependent on the transcription-coupled pathway of NER. We found that Et743 interacts with the transcription-coupled NER machinery to induce lethal DNA strand breaks.
Patients with Xeroderma pigmentosum and defective DNA excision repair can be distinguished as a rapid (r-XP) and slow (s-XP) complementing variety. When fused with normal cells, fibroblasts from the r-XP are complemented rapidly and in the absence of protein synthesis while those from the s-XP are complemented slowly by a process partly, but not entirely, dependent on protein synthesis. Heterokaryons with different ratios of r-XP to s-XP nuclei (i.e. 1:1-5 and 1-5:1) and control heterokaryons containing one normal and 1-5 r- or s-XP nuclei show that if cell fusion and incubation is conducted in medium preventing protein synthesis, the rXP cells do not complement the s-XP partner at all and, conversely, that the latter is not as effective as normal cells at complementing the rXP partner. On the contrary, if protein synthesis is permitted, the 2 types of XP cells complement each other in a gene dose-dependent manner and to an extent similar to that observed in the control heterokaryons. These ...
This gene encodes a single-strand specific DNA endonuclease that makes the 3 incision in DNA excision repair following UV-induced damage. The protein may also function in other cellular processes, including RNA polymerase II transcription, and transcription-coupled DNA repair. Mutations in this gene cause xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group G (XP-G), which is also referred to as xeroderma pigmentosum VII (XP7), a skin disorder characterized by hypersensitivity to UV light and increased susceptibility for skin cancer development following UV exposure. Some patients also develop Cockayne syndrome, which is characterized by severe growth defects, mental retardation, and cachexia. Read-through transcription exists between this gene and the neighboring upstream BIVM (basic, immunoglobulin-like variable motif containing) gene. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2011 ...
Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) is a rare recessive disorder that is characterized by extreme sensitivity to UV light. UV light exposure results in the formation of DNA damage such as cyclobutane dimers and (6-4) photoproducts. Nucleotide excision repair (NER) orchestrates the removal of cyclobutane dimers and (6-4) photoproducts as well as some forms of bulky chemical DNA adducts. The disease XP is comprised of 7 complementation groups (XP-A to XP-G), which represent functional deficiencies in seven different genes, all of which are believed to be involved in NER. The main clinical feature of XP is various forms of skin cancers; however, neurological degeneration is present in XPA, XPB, XPD and XPG complementation groups. The relationship between NER and other types of DNA repair processes is now becoming evident but the exact relationships between the different complementation groups remains to be precisely determined. Using gene expression analysis we have identified similarities and differences after UV

Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) is a rare disorder transmitted in an autosomal recessive manner. It is characterized by photosensitivity, pigmentary changes, premature skin aging, and malignant tumor development. These manifestations are due to a cellular hypersensitivity to ultraviolet (UV) radiation resulting from a defect in DNA repair. The frequency of XP in the United States is approximately 1 case per 250,000 and the disease is usually detected at age 1-2 years. The basic defect in XP is in nucleotide excision repair (NER), leading to deficient repair of DNA damaged by UV radiation. Seven XP repair genes, XPA through XPG, have been identified.. A history of severe persistent sunburn can be found in many patients. The history should focus on the relationship of the eruption to sun exposure, with a careful determination of its time course and morphology. As with most autosomal recessive disorders, usually no family history is present; the parents, being heterozygotes, are healthy. Moreover, a ...

Disorder of these XP proteins results in impairment of NVP-TAE 226 DNA restoration, leading to genomic instability and improved tumor incidence, esp. on skins (Robbins et al., 1974). Importantly, most individuals in organizations XPA, XPB, XPD, and XPG also show intensifying neurological degeneration (Grewal, 1991; Kulkarni and Wilson, 2008), characterized by microcephaly, dementia, peripheral neuropathy, and sensorineural hearing loss (Lai et al., 2013; Hayashi et al., 2004; Anttinen et al., 2008). Of notice is definitely that these neurological symptoms are most regularly observed in XPA individuals (Maeda et al., 1994). While mice deficient in XPA have been produced, they did not recapitulate the neurological degeneration phenotypes observed in humans ...

Xeroderma Pigmentosum is a medical affliction that occurs in an extremely small percentage of the populace. The genetic makeup of people afflicted with XP causes a host of problems repairing the damage from ultraviolet rays that the sun emanates. Children with Xeroderma Pigmentosum should only be allowed to play at night. For this reason, people afflicted with Xeroderma Pigmentosum are ridiculed as the people of the night or vampires. Although this is obviously untrue, people with xp have a very hard life. Almost all cases are extreme cases of XP and they result in people unable to handle sunlight at all. It is a genetic disorder that can result in skin cancer at a young age for those afflicted.. Xeroderma Pigmentosum causes severe sunburn and eye irritation almost immediately upon exposure to sunlight. People afflicted can get blisters and freckling of the skin. The problem many people with XP face is the super dry skin that also comes with the affliction. People with normal skin have the ...

Animals and UVB irradiation. Mice made deficient in pol η by targeted deletion of exon 4 of the pol η gene were used in these experiments ( 9). These mice exhibit a well-defined and reproducible pattern of UVB light-induced carcinogenesis similar to human xeroderma pigmentosum variant (shown in detail in Figs. 4 and 5A of ref. 9). Pol η−/− and wild-type (WT) mice were UVB irradiated thrice a week at a dose of 3.75 kJ/m2 each time with a bank of two UVB lamps. UVB flux was measured by a UVX-31 digital radiometer (Blak-Ray lamp Model XX-15M and Model UVX-31, UV Products, Inc., Upland, CA). For all the experiments, Pol η−/− mice were used that had received ∼10 weeks of irradiation (and had developed hyperplastic/dysplastic lesions) or at least 5 months of irradiation (tumor stage) and compared with WT control mice that had received 3 or 5 months of irradiation..

Xeroderma pigmentosum group C (XPC) is a key component of the nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathway. Dysfunctional XPC protein may impair NER-mediated DNA repair capacity and further lead to genomic instability and carcinogenesis. Two common nonsynonymous polymorphisms in the XPC gene, Lys939Gln (rs2228001 A > C) and Ala499Val (rs2228000 C > T), have been investigated in various types of cancer. We genotyped these two polymorphisms in 1141 cases with histologically confirmed colorectal cancer (CRC) and 1173 healthy controls to explore their causative association with CRC susceptibility. Overall, no association was observed between these two variants and the risk of CRC. Our meta-analysis also confirmed a lack of overall association. Stratified analyses were performed by age, gender, smoking status, pack-year, drinking status, tumor sites, and Dukes stages. We found that XPC Lys939Gln polymorphism was significantly associated with an increased CRC risk in subjects at 57 years of age or younger
Platinum-based chemotherapy is a vital component in the treatment of many tumors including lung, testicular, ovarian, and head and neck cancers. However, despite the high efficacy of these anticancer agents, drug resistance, either acquired or intrinsic, remains problematic, and there is no way of predicting which individual tumors will respond to treatment. One possible method to predict individual tumor sensitivity would be to measure the protein (or mRNA levels) of genes known to affect sensitivity to platinum-based drugs. In support of such an approach is the fact that clinical resistance to cisplatin of ovarian, lung, and gastric cancers has been reported for tumors with increased levels of expression of the ERCC1 (excision repair cross-complementing 1) gene (1, 2, 3) . The ERCC1 protein forms a heterodimer with XPF (xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group F), which performs the 5′ strand incision during nucleotide excision repair (NER; Refs. 4 , 5 ) and in the removal of interstrand ...

Only one in a million U.S. Americans suffer from the horrible disease xeroderma pigmentosum, or XP, but one in 40 from the Brazilian town of Araras has it. The affliction leads to tumors where sun hits skin, often the face and hands. Why is the disease so highly concentrated in Araras, and how could answering that question help unravel some confusion about Adam and Eve?. The Associated Press recently took photos during 38-year-old Djalma Jardims visit to a local hospital. Jardim told AP, As the years passed my condition got worse.1 Medical professionals did not properly diagnose his condition until 2010.. Some have now taken notice of the towns situation. Because XP is inherited, its high rate of incidence in Araras stems from intermarriage within descendants of a small group who carried the mutation when they founded the village long ago.. Jardim has had over 50 surgeries on his skin, and wears a prosthetic that covers part of his face that is no longer there. Previously unaware of the ...
Rad23a and Rad23b protein are linked to nucleotide excision DNA restoration (NER) via association with the DNA harm acknowledgement proteins xeroderma pigmentosum group C (XPC) are and known to be suggested as a factor in proteins turnover by the 26S proteasome. Rad23b, expansion prices had been decreased. In fetal livers of Rad23b-null embryos, we noticed decreased expansion, build up of early erythroid progenitors, and a stop during erythroid growth. In main wild-type (WT) erythroid cells, knockdown of Rad23b or chemical substance inhibition of the proteasome decreased success and difference ability. Finally, the problems connected to Rad23b reduction particularly affected fetal conclusive erythropoiesis and tension erythropoiesis in adult rodents.

Aim: Trabectedin sensitivity is increased in cells with functional nucleotide excision DNA repair, whereas efficient homologous recombination repair leads to resistance. On this basis, a retrospective study of mRNA expression of BRCA1 (breast cancer susceptibility 1 gene), XPG (Xeroderma pigmentosum group G gene) and ERCC1 (excision-repair cross complementing group 1 gene) in tumour samples from sarcoma patients treated with trabectedin was conducted, to correlate DNA repair profiles with patient outcome. Materials and methods: Quantification of expression in paraffin embedded tumour samples from 245 patients with advanced sarcomas was performed by qRT-PCR (quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction). Median values were used as cut-off to define low/high mRNA expression. Results: Low BRCA1 mRNA expression in tumour samples correlated with statistically significant better response to trabectedin. In contrast to other DNA interacting agents, high expression of XPG was significantly ...

All Things Considered host Linda Wertheimer visits Camp Sundown in New Yorks Hudson River Valley. Its for kids who have a rare skin disease called Xeroderma Pigmentosum or XP. The disease makes any exposure to sunlight or ultraviolet rays deadly. So these kids fish, ride horses, play games all night and sleep during the day. Dan and Caren Maher of Poughkeepsie started the camp three summers ago. Their six-year-old, Katie, has XP. They say they wanted Katie to have a chance to go outside and play with other children for a few weeks of her life. There is no cure yet for XP, which destroys the bodys ability to restore skin cells. You can find out more by visiting the Xeroderma Pigmentosum Society Web site.
Imagine discovering your child has a devastating genetic condition for which theres no cure. Sandra Webb faced that reality when her son Alex was diagnosed with xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) at the age of four. Thankfully, Sussex researcher Professor Alan Lehmann has given Sandra and Alex the confidence to live their lives to the full, and to help other affected families.. When Sandra Webb first received her sons diagnosis in 1998 she found it hard to believe as Alex didnt look like other patients with xeroderma pigmentosum (XP). She contacted an online community where Dr Kenneth Kraemer from the National Institutes of Health in the US was a contributor. When he heard it was Alan Lehmann who had diagnosed Alex, his reply was, Your son has XP. Alan is the world leader in the diagnosis.. It was the start of a long relationship between Alan and the Webbs.

Structure-specific endonucleases (SSEs) have key roles in DNA replication, recombination and repair, and emerging roles in transcription. These enzymes have specificity for DNA secondary structure rather than for sequence, and therefore their activity must be precisely controlled to ensure genome stability. In this Review, we discuss how SSEs are controlled as part of genome maintenance pathways in eukaryotes, with an emphasis on the elaborate mechanisms that regulate the members of the major SSE families - including the xeroderma pigmentosum group F-complementing protein (XPF) and MMS and UV-sensitive protein 81 (MUS81)-dependent nucleases, and the flap endonuclease 1 (FEN1), XPG and XPG-like endonuclease 1 (GEN1) enzymes - during processes such as DNA adduct repair, Holliday junction processing and replication stress ...

Xeroderma pigmentosa (XP) is a rare autosomal recessive skin disease that was first discovered in the late 1800s. This autosomal recessive disease is often associated with high incidences of skin cancer as well as apoptosis of the skin, damage to the eyes, and neurological disorders. It is believed that such conditions are induced by mutations in the nucleotide excision repair mechanism that renders it defective. Without the nucleotide excision repair mechanism working properly, the individual is extremely susceptible to UV damage of their DNA. Furthermore, loss in effectiveness of this system can induce p53 damage which allows cancer to more easily proliferate in damaged tissues. Due to the rarity of this condition, there is a lack of complete understanding of the mechanism that induces the damage in the excision repair mechanisms that ultimately aids in the development of the condition. Treatment options are fairly limited due to the lack of understanding, however, individuals who avoid UV light
We are investigating the role of DNA repair in prevention of cancer and in human development.

DNA Repair: Lesion bypass polymerases play an essential cellular role as they allow replication to proceed through damaged DNA. Mutation of a member of this class of polymerases, Pol eta, results in the condition xeroderma pigmentosum that can lead to cancer; thus Pol eta is a proven tumor supressor. Recently the structures of the bypass polymerases S. solfataricus DinB homologue (Dbh) and polymerase IV (Dpo4), and S. cerevisiae Pol eta were found to resemble the classic polymerase fold. The fidelity of the replicative polymerase is believed to rely on a protein conformational change from an open to closed state. The closed state has been proposed to be a crucial determinant of fidelity by restricting nucleotide incorporation to the base that fits correctly (induced fit mechanism). An unusual feature was noticed in the bypass polymerase structures: both Dbh and Pol eta are in a closed conformation even in the absence of substrate. This raises a question as to whether the bypass polymerase ...

N2 - Microcell‐mediated chromosome transfer (MMCT) is a powerful genetic technique that permits the transfer of a single chromosome from one mammalian cell to another. The utility of MMCT for gene mapping strategies is critically dependent on the careful characterization of the chromosomes being transferred. We have recently reported the identification of a single rearranged human chromosome, designated Tneo, which corrects the UV sensitivity and excision repair defect of cells of xeroderma pigmentosum genetic complementation group D (XP‐D) in culture (Flejter WL et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 89:261-265, 1992). ...
Although it is known that single-stranded DNA binding proteins (SSB) can stimulate helicase activity, the mechanism by which this occurs may be more complex than sequestering ssDNA products of duplex separation. Here, we present a singlemolecule helicase assay with base-pair sensitivity, which utilizes high-resolution optical tweezers combined with microfluidics and fluorescence microscopy to decipher how FacXPD helicase is modulated by FacRPA2. FacXPD is the archaeal homolog of yeast Rad3 and human xeroderma pigmentosum group D protein (XPD) helicase from the organism Ferroplasma acidarmanus. This enzyme serves as a model for understanding the molecular mechanism of human Superfamily 2B helicase XPD involved in transcription initiation and nucleotide excision repair and related helicases FANCJ, RTEL and CHLR1 involved in maintenance of the genomic integrity. First, we examined DNA unwinding by XPD helicase in isolation to understand the basic physicochemical process of DNA base pair (bp) ...
Carboxymethylating agents are potential sources of endogenous DNA damage that have been proposed as possible contributors to gastrointestinal carcinogenesis. The cytotoxicity of the model DNA carboxymethylating agent azaserine was investigated in human cells. Expression of the DNA repair enzyme O(6)-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) did not affect sensitivity to the drug in two related Raji Burkitts lymphoma cell lines. DNA mismatch repair-defective variants of Raji cells which display increased tolerance to DNA methylation damage were not selectively resistant to azaserine. Complementary results were obtained with a second carboxymethylating agent, potassium diazoacetate. In contrast, lymphoblastoid cell lines representative of each of the xeroderma pigmentosum complementation groups, including the variant, were all significantly more sensitive to azaserine than nucleotide excision repair-proficient cells. The hypersensitivity of XP cells was not due to systematic differences in the ...
The XPA protein acts during NER as a scaffold for assembly of other DNA repair proteins at sites of DNA damage to ensure appropriate excision of the damage.[12]. The XPB (ERCC3) protein is employed in unwinding the DNA double helix after DNA damage is initially recognized. Mutations in the XPB(ERCC3) gene can lead to XP or XP combined with Cockayne syndrome.[13]. The XPC protein forms a complex with RAD23B protein to form the initial damage recognition factor in global genomic nucleotide excision repair (GG-NER).[14] This complex recognizes a wide variety of damages that thermodynamically destabilize DNA duplexes. The XPD (ERCC2) protein, in combination with the XPB helicase-containing transcription/repair complex TFIIH, is employed in unwinding the DNA duplex after damage is initially recognized. Mutations in the XPD(ERCC2) gene cause a variety of syndromes; XP, trichothiodystrophy (TTD), or a combination of XP and Cockayne syndrome (XPCS).[15][16] Both trichothiodystrophy and Cockayne syndrome ...
Centrins are Ca(2+)-binding proteins found throughout eukaryotic organisms. Xeroderma pigmentosum group C protein (XPC), a dominant component of the nuclear excision repair (NER) pathway, is a critical target protein of centrins. A 22-residue peptide (K842-R863) from XPC was used to investigate the effect of metal ions (Ca(2+) and Tb(3+)) on the peptide binding of Euplotes octocarinatus centrin (EoCen) by isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) and fluorescence spectroscopy. ITC and tryptophan spectrofluorimetric titrations revealed that metal ions (Ca(2+) and Tb(3+)) could enhance the affinity between EoCen and the XPC peptide, and the enhanced effects were closely related to the ion potential of metal ions ...
Mutations in the ERCC3 gene also appear to be a rare cause of xeroderma pigmentosum. A single ERCC3 gene mutation has been identified in people with this condition. This mutation changes one protein building block (amino acid) in the XPB protein; specifically, it replaces the amino acid phenylalanine with the amino acid serine at protein position 99 (written as Phe99Ser or F99S). This mutation greatly reduces the ability of the TFIIH complex to repair damaged DNA. As a result, abnormalities accumulate in DNA, causing cells to malfunction and eventually to become cancerous or die. These problems with DNA repair cause people with xeroderma pigmentosum to be extremely sensitive to UV rays from sunlight. When UV rays damage genes that control cell growth and division, cells can grow too fast and in an uncontrolled way. As a result, people with xeroderma pigmentosum have a greatly increased risk of developing cancer. These cancers occur most frequently in areas of the body that are exposed to the ...
Patients with the nucleotide excision repair (NER) disorder xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) are highly predisposed to develop sunlight-induced skin cancer, in remarkable contrast to photosensitive NER-deficient trichothiodystrophy (TTD) patients carrying mutations in the same XPD gene. XPD encodes a helicase subunit of the dually functional DNA repair/basal transcription complex TFIIH. The pleiotropic disease phenotype is hypothesized to be, in part, derived from a repair defect causing UV sensitivity and, in part, from a subtle, viable basal transcription deficiency accounting for the cutaneous, developmental, and the typical brittle hair features of TTD. To understand the relationship between deficient NER and tumor susceptibility, we used a mouse model for TTD that mimics an XPD point mutation of a TTD patient in the mouse germline. Like the fibroblasts from the patient, mouse cells exhibit a partial NER defect, evident from the reduced UV-induced DNA repair synthesis (residual repair capacity ...
The variant form of the human syndrome xeroderma pigmentosum (XPV) is caused by a deficiency in DNA polymerase eta (Poleta), a DNA polymerase that enables replication through ultraviolet-induced pyrimidine dimers. Here we report high-resolution crystal structures of human Poleta at four consecutive steps during DNA synthesis through cis-syn cyclobutane thymine dimers. Poleta acts like a molecular splint to stabilize damaged DNA in a normal B-form conformation. An enlarged active site accommodates the thymine dimer with excellent stereochemistry for two-metal ion catalysis. Two residues conserved among Poleta orthologues form specific hydrogen bonds with the lesion and the incoming nucleotide to assist translesion synthesis. On the basis of the structures, eight Poleta missense mutations causing XPV can be rationalized as undermining the molecular splint or perturbing the active-site alignment. The structures also provide an insight into the role of Poleta in replicating through D loop and DNA ...

Nondistorting C4 backbone adducts serve as molecular tools to analyze the strategy by which a limited number of human nucleotide excision repair (NER) factors recognize an infinite variety of DNA lesions. We have constructed composite DNA substrates containing a noncomplementary site adjacent to a nondistorting C4 adduct to show that the loss of hydrogen bonding contacts between partner strands is an essential signal for the recruitment of NER enzymes. This specific conformational requirement for excision is mediated by the affinity of xeroderma pigmentosum group A (XPA) protein for nonhybridizing sites in duplex DNA. XPA recognizes defective Watson-Crick base pair conformations even in the absence of DNA adducts or other covalent modifications, apparently through detection of hydrophobic base components that are abnormally exposed to the double helical surface. This recognition function of XPA is enhanced by replication protein A (RPA) such that, in combination, XPA and RPA constitute a potent
Lizzie Tenney, who suffers from XP, said even a five-minute exposure could develop agonizing blisters which would eventually turn into skin cancer.
Nucleotide excision repair (NER) is a mechanism to recognize and repair bulky DNA damage caused by compounds, environmental carcinogens, and exposure to UV-light. In humans hereditary defects in the NER pathway are linked to at least three diseases: xeroderma pigmentosum (XP), Cockayne syndrome (CS), and trichothiodystrophy (TTD). The repair of damaged DNA involves at least 30 polypeptides within two different sub-pathways of NER known as transcription-coupled repair (TCR-NER) and global genome repair (GGR-NER). TCR refers to the expedited repair of lesions located in the actively transcribed strand of genes by RNA polymerase II (RNAP II). In GGR-NER the first step of damage recognition involves XPC-hHR23B complex together with XPE complex (in prokaryotes, uvrAB complex). The following steps of GGR-NER and TCR-NER are similar ...

AU - Cunningham, Eric. AU - Cleaver, James E.. PY - 2016. Y1 - 2016. N2 - Cancer and neurodegeneration represent the extreme responses of growing and terminally differentiated cells to cellular and genomic damage. The damage recognition mechanisms of nucleotide excision repair, epitomized by xeroderma pigmentosum (XP), and Cockayne syndrome (CS), lie at these extremes. Patients with mutations in the DDB2 and XPC damage recognition steps of global genome repair exhibit almost exclusively actinic skin cancer. Patients with mutations in the RNA pol II cofactors CSA and CSB, that regulate transcription coupled repair, exhibit developmental and neurological symptoms, but not cancer. The absence of skin cancer despite increased photosensitivity in CS implies that the DNA repair deficiency is not associated with ...
The Kupfer lab works on the relationship of genomic instability and the propensity towards development of cancer. Specifically, we focus on the genetic syndrome Fanconi anemia (FA). Interestingly, children with FA are born with congenital anomalies and develop aplastic anemia and an assortment of leukemias and other cancers. FA serves as a paradigm where the disciplines of development, genetics, and molecular oncology come together. Like other cancer susceptibility syndromes, such as ataxia telangiectasia and xeroderma pigmentosum, FA patients exhibit a unique hypersensitivity to DNA crosslinking agents, which is the key to the biology of FA. Unlike the other syndromes, exceedingly little is known about FA. Eleven complementation groups have been elucidated, with all exhibiting similar phenotypic characteristics, suggesting an interrelationship of proteins in a complex or in a linear pathway. To date, 13 genes have been cloned, but the encoded proteins bear no resemblance to each other or to any ...
