Almushawwah S, Almutairi MH, Alamri AM, Semlali A. A Significant Increasing Risk Association between Cigarette Smoking and XPA and XPC Genes Polymorphisms. Genes (Basel) 2023; 14:1349. [PMID: 37510255 PMCID: PMC10379612 DOI: 10.3390/genes14071349] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/19/2023] [Revised: 06/05/2023] [Accepted: 06/22/2023] [Indexed: 07/30/2023] Open
Abstract
Cigarette smoking (CS) is a major cause of various serious diseases due to tobacco chemicals. There is evidence suggesting that CS has been linked with the DNA damage repair system, as it can affect genomic stability, inducing genetic changes in the genes involved in the repair system, specifically the nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathway, affecting the function and/or regulation of these genes. Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), along with CS, can affect the work of the NER pathway and, therefore, could lead to different diseases. This study explored the association of four SNPs in both XPA and XPC genes with CS in the Saudi population. The Taq Man genotyping assay was used for 220 healthy non-smokers (control) and 201 healthy smokers to evaluate four SNPs in the XPA gene named rs10817938, rs1800975, rs3176751, and rs3176752 and four SNPs in the XPC gene called rs1870134, rs2228000, rs2228001, and rs2607775. In the XPA gene, SNP rs3176751 showed a high-risk association with CS-induced diseases with all clinical parameters, including CS duration, CS intensity, gender, and age of smokers. On the other hand, SNP rs1800975 showed a statistically significant low-risk association with all clinical parameters. In addition, rs10817938 showed a high-risk association only with long-term smokers and a low-risk association only with younger smokers. A low-risk association was found in SNP rs3176752 with older smokers. In the XPC gene, SNP rs2228001 showed a low-risk association only with female smokers. SNP rs2607775 revealed a statistically significant low-risk association with CS-induced diseases, concerning all parameters, except for male smokers. However, SNP rs2228000 and rs1870134 showed no association with CS. Overall, the study results demonstrated possible significant associations (effector/and protector) between CS and SNPs polymorphisms in DNA repair genes, such as XPA and XPC, except for rs2228000 and rs1870134 polymorphisms.

Abstract
XPA is a central scaffold protein that coordinates the assembly of repair complexes in the global genome (GG-NER) and transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair (TC-NER) subpathways. Inactivating mutations in XPA cause xeroderma pigmentosum (XP), which is characterized by extreme UV sensitivity and a highly elevated skin cancer risk. Here, we describe two Dutch siblings in their late forties carrying a homozygous H244R substitution in the C-terminus of XPA. They present with mild cutaneous manifestations of XP without skin cancer but suffer from marked neurological features, including cerebellar ataxia. We show that the mutant XPA protein has a severely weakened interaction with the transcription factor IIH (TFIIH) complex leading to an impaired association of the mutant XPA and the downstream endonuclease ERCC1-XPF with NER complexes. Despite these defects, the patient-derived fibroblasts and reconstituted knockout cells carrying the XPA-H244R substitution show intermediate UV sensitivity and considerable levels of residual GG-NER (~50%), in line with the intrinsic properties and activities of the purified protein. By contrast, XPA-H244R cells are exquisitely sensitive to transcription-blocking DNA damage, show no detectable recovery of transcription after UV irradiation, and display a severe deficiency in TC-NER-associated unscheduled DNA synthesis. Our characterization of a new case of XPA deficiency that interferes with TFIIH binding and primarily affects the transcription-coupled subpathway of nucleotide excision repair, provides an explanation of the dominant neurological features in these patients, and reveals a specific role for the C-terminus of XPA in TC-NER.

Abstract
Nucleotide excision repair (NER) is a versatile DNA repair pathway essential for the removal of a broad spectrum of structurally diverse DNA lesions arising from a variety of sources, including UV irradiation and environmental toxins. Although the core factors and basic stages involved in NER have been identified, the mechanisms of the NER machinery are not well understood. This review summarizes our current understanding of the mechanisms and order of assembly in the core global genome (GG-NER) pathway.

Abstract
The XPA protein functions together with the single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) binding protein RPA as the central scaffold to ensure proper positioning of repair factors in multi-protein nucleotide excision repair (NER) machinery. We previously determined the structure of a short motif in the disordered XPA N-terminus bound to the RPA32C domain. However, a second contact between the XPA DNA-binding domain (XPA DBD) and the RPA70AB tandem ssDNA-binding domains, which is likely to influence the orientation of XPA and RPA on the damaged DNA substrate, remains poorly characterized. NMR was used to map the binding interfaces of XPA DBD and RPA70AB. Combining NMR and X-ray scattering data with comprehensive docking and refinement revealed how XPA DBD and RPA70AB orient on model NER DNA substrates. The structural model enabled design of XPA mutations that inhibit the interaction with RPA70AB. These mutations decreased activity in cell-based NER assays, demonstrating the functional importance of XPA DBD-RPA70AB interaction. Our results inform ongoing controversy about where XPA is bound within the NER bubble, provide structural insights into the molecular basis for malfunction of disease-associated XPA missense mutations, and contribute to understanding of the structure and mechanical action of the NER machinery.

Genetic variants of DNA repair pathway genes on lung cancer risk. Pathol Res Pract 2019; 215:152548.

Abstract
As is commonly perceived, polymorphisms in genes of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) repair pathway plays a fundamental role in defective DNA repair and mutagenesis prevention and serves to contribute to the individual susceptibility to the development of a variety of cancers. Recently, an increasing number of studies have been dedicated to the contentious and ambiguous links between polymorphisms in genes of DNA repair pathway and lung cancer (LC) risk. In response, a comprehensive updated meta-analysis has been proposed herein to assess the correlation between polymorphisms of DNA repair pathway genes and susceptibility to LC. This paper has identified and retrieved eligible articles from PubMed, Google Scholar, Web of Science, and CNKI databases till February 20, 2019. Finally, 295 case-control studies as to the fourteen polymorphisms of DNA repair pathway genes were enrolled. When the results have been pooled, we have brought to light the conclusion that ERCC2-rs13181 polymorphism has an elevated association with LC risk under allele, heterozygote, and dominant comparisons. In the subgroup analysis by ethnicity, we have found that the Caucasian individuals with "B" variant possess risk of LC which was more than twice as much as allele, homozygote, and recessive models. In comparison, Asian carriers of rs13181 polymorphism in ERCC2 gene are more susceptible to LC in heterozygote, dominant models. To sum up, ERCC2-rs13181 polymorphism could be a critical factor in stimulating LC evolvement. Future studies with a larger sample size and multivariate factors are needed to vindicate these findings.

Abstract
Nucleotide excision repair (NER) in mammalian cells requires the xeroderma pigmentosum group A protein (XPA) as a core factor. Remarkably, XPA and other NER proteins have been detected by chromatin immunoprecipitation at some active promoters, and NER deficiency is reported to influence the activated transcription of selected genes. However, the global influence of XPA on transcription in human cells has not been determined. We analyzed the human transcriptome by RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq). We first confirmed that XPA is confined to the cell nucleus even in the absence of external DNA damage, in contrast to previous reports that XPA is normally resident in the cytoplasm and is imported following DNA damage. We then analyzed four genetically matched human cell line pairs deficient or proficient in XPA. Of the ∼14,000 genes transcribed in each cell line, 325 genes (2%) had a significant XPA-dependent directional change in gene expression that was common to all four pairs (with a false discovery rate of 0.05). These genes were enriched in pathways for the maintenance of mitochondria. Only 27 common genes were different by more than 1.5-fold. The most significant hits were AKR1C1 and AKR1C2, involved in steroid hormone metabolism. AKR1C2 protein was lower in all of the immortalized XPA-deficient cells. Retinoic acid treatment led to modest XPA-dependent activation of some genes with transcription-related functions. We conclude that XPA status does not globally influence human gene transcription. However, XPA significantly influences expression of a small subset of genes important for mitochondrial functions and steroid hormone metabolism. The results may help explain defects in neurological function and sterility in individuals with xeroderma pigmentosum.

Abstract
UV radiation is a major environmental risk factor for the development of melanoma by causing DNA damage and mutations. Resistance to UV damage is largely determined by the capacity of melanocytes to respond to UV injury by repairing mutagenic photolesions. The nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathway is the major mechanism by which cells correct UV photodamage. This multistep process involves the basic steps of damage recognition, isolation, localized strand unwinding, assembly of a repair complex, excision of the damage-containing strand 3' and 5' to the photolesion, synthesis of a sequence-appropriate replacement strand, and finally ligation to restore continuity of genomic DNA. In melanocytes, the efficiency of NER is regulated by several hormonal pathways including the melanocortin and endothelin signaling pathways. Elucidating molecular mechanisms by which melanocyte DNA repair is regulated offers the possibility of developing novel melanoma-preventive strategies to reduce UV mutagenesis, especially in UV-sensitive melanoma-prone individuals.

Abstract
XPC-RAD23B (XPC) plays a critical role in human nucleotide excision repair (hNER) as this complex recognizes DNA adducts to initiate NER. To determine the mutagenic potential of structurally different bulky DNA damages, various studies have been conducted to define the correlation of XPC-DNA damage equilibrium binding affinity with NER efficiency. However, little is known about the effects of XPC-DNA damage recognition kinetics on hNER. Although association of XPC is important, our current work shows that the XPC-DNA dissociation rate also plays a pivotal role in achieving NER efficiency. We characterized for the first time the binding of XPC to mono- versus di-AAF-modified sequences by using the real time monitoring surface plasmon resonance technique. Strikingly, the half-life (t1/2 or the retention time of XPC in association with damaged DNA) shares an inverse relationship with NER efficiency. This is particularly true when XPC remained bound to clustered adducts for a much longer period of time as compared to mono-adducts. Our results suggest that XPC dissociation from the damage site could become a rate-limiting step in NER of certain types of DNA adducts, leading to repression of NER.

Abstract
Xeroderma pigmentosum group G (XPG) protein plays an important role in the DNA repair process by cutting the damaged DNA at the 3′ terminus. Previous studies have indicated some polymorphisms in the XPG gene are associated with stomach cancer susceptibility. We performed this hospital‐based case–control study to evaluate the association of four potentially functional XPG polymorphisms (rs2094258 C>T, rs751402 C>T, rs2296147 T>C and rs873601G>A) with stomach cancer susceptibility. The four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were genotyped in 692 stomach cancer cases and 771 healthy controls. Logistic regression analysis was conducted, and odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to assess the association of interest. Of the studied SNPs, XPG rs873601G>A polymorphism was found to significantly associate with stomach cancer susceptibility (AA versus GG/AG: OR = 1.31, 95% CI = 1.03–1.66, P = 0.027). Combined analysis of all SNPs revealed that the individuals with two of risk genotypes had a significantly increased stomach cancer risk (OR = 1.52, 95% CI = 1.13–2.06). In the stratification analysis, the association between the rs873601AA genotype and stomach cancer risk was observed in older group (>59 year), as well as patients with non‐cardia stomach cancer. Further combined analysis indicated men, smokers, or non‐drinkers more than one risk genotypes had a significantly increased stomach cancer risk. Our results indicate that XPG rs873601G>A polymorphism may be associated with the risk of stomach cancer. Further prospective studies with different ethnicities and large sample sizes are needed to validate our findings.

Mitotic regulator Nlp interacts with XPA/ERCC1 complexes and regulates nucleotide excision repair (NER) in response to UV radiation. Cancer Lett 2016; 373:214-21. [PMID: 26805762 DOI: 10.1016/j.canlet.2016.01.020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/30/2015] [Revised: 01/10/2016] [Accepted: 01/11/2016] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
Cellular response to DNA damage, including ionizing radiation (IR) and UV radiation, is critical for the maintenance of genomic fidelity. Defects of DNA repair often result in genomic instability and malignant cell transformation. Centrosomal protein Nlp (ninein-like protein) has been characterized as an important cell cycle regulator that is required for proper mitotic progression. In this study, we demonstrate that Nlp is able to improve nucleotide excision repair (NER) activity and protects cells against UV radiation. Upon exposure of cells to UVC, Nlp is translocated into the nucleus. The C-terminus (1030-1382) of Nlp is necessary and sufficient for its nuclear import. Upon UVC radiation, Nlp interacts with XPA and ERCC1, and enhances their association. Interestingly, down-regulated expression of Nlp is found to be associated with human skin cancers, indicating that dysregulated Nlp might be related to the development of human skin cancers. Taken together, this study identifies mitotic protein Nlp as a new and important member of NER pathway and thus provides novel insights into understanding of regulatory machinery involved in NER.

Abstract
Lack of structure is often an essential functional feature of protein domains. The coordination of macromolecular assemblies in DNA repair pathways is yet another task disordered protein regions are highly implicated in. Here I review the available experimental and computational data and within this context discuss the functional role of structure and disorder in one of the essential scaffolding proteins in the nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathway, namely Xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group A (XPA). From the analysis of the current knowledge, in addition to protein–protein docking and secondary structure prediction results presented for the first time herein, a mechanistic framework emerges, where XPA builds the NER pre-incision complex in a modular fashion, as “beads on a string”, where the protein–protein interaction “beads”, or modules, are interconnected by disordered link regions. This architecture is ideal to avoid the expected steric hindrance constraints of the DNA expanded bubble. Finally, the role of the XPA structural disorder in binding affinity modulation and in the sequential binding of NER core factors in the pre-incision complex is also discussed.

Abstract
XPC has long been considered instrumental in DNA damage recognition during global genome nucleotide excision repair (GG-NER). While this recognition is crucial for organismal health and survival, as XPC's recognition of lesions stimulates global genomic repair, more recent lines of research have uncovered many new non-canonical pathways in which XPC plays a role, such as base excision repair (BER), chromatin remodeling, cell signaling, proteolytic degradation, and cellular viability. Since the first discovery of its yeast homolog, Rad4, the involvement of XPC in cellular regulation has expanded considerably. Indeed, our understanding appears to barely scratch the surface of the incredible potential influence of XPC on maintaining proper cellular function. Here, we first review the canonical role of XPC in lesion recognition and then explore the new world of XPC function.

Abstract
Peripheral neuropathy is one of the major side effects of treatment with the anticancer drug, cisplatin. One proposed mechanism for this neurotoxicity is the formation of platinum adducts in sensory neurons that could contribute to DNA damage. Although this damage is largely repaired by nuclear excision repair (NER), our previous findings suggest that augmenting the base excision repair pathway (BER) by overexpressing the repair protein APE1 protects sensory neurons from cisplatin-induced neurotoxicity. The question remains whether APE1 contributes to the ability of the NER pathway to repair platinum-damage in neuronal cells. To examine this, we manipulated APE1 expression in sensory neuronal cultures and measured Pt-removal after exposure to cisplatin. When neuronal cultures were treated with increasing concentrations of cisplatin for two or three hours, there was a concentration-dependent increase in Pt-damage that peaked at four hours and returned to near baseline levels after 24h. In cultures where APE1 expression was reduced by ∼ 80% using siRNA directed at APE1, there was a significant inhibition of Pt-removal over eight hours which was reversed by overexpressing APE1 using a lentiviral construct for human wtAPE1. Overexpressing a mutant APE1 (C65 APE1), which only has DNA repair activity, but not its other significant redox-signaling function, mimicked the effects of wtAPE1. Overexpressing DNA repair activity mutant APE1 (226 + 177APE1), with only redox activity was ineffective suggesting it is the DNA repair function of APE1 and not its redox-signaling, that restores the Pt-damage removal. Together, these data provide the first evidence that a critical BER enzyme, APE1, helps regulate the NER pathway in the repair of cisplatin damage in sensory neurons.

Abstract
In nucleotide excision repair (NER), damage recognition by XPC-hHR23b is described as a critical step in the formation of the preincision complex (PInC) further composed of TFIIH, XPA, RPA, XPG, and ERCC1-XPF. To obtain new molecular insights into the assembly of the PInC, we analyzed its formation independently of DNA damage by using the lactose operator/repressor reporter system. We observed a sequential and ordered self-assembly of the PInC operating upon immobilization of individual NER factors on undamaged chromatin and mimicking that functioning on a bona fide NER substrate. We also revealed that the recruitment of the TFIIH subunit TTDA, involved in trichothiodystrophy group A disorder (TTD-A), was key in the completion of the PInC. TTDA recruits XPA through its first 15 amino acids, depleted in some TTD-A patients. More generally, these results show that proteins forming large nuclear complexes can be recruited sequentially on chromatin in the absence of their natural DNA target and with no reciprocity in their recruitment.

Adduct-induced DNA damage can affect
transcription efficiency and
DNA replication and repair. We previously investigated the effects
of the 3′-next flanking base (G*CT vs G*CA; G*, FABP, N-(2′-deoxyguanosin-8-yl)-4′-fluoro-4-aminobiphenyl;
FAF, N-(2′-deoxyguanosin-8-yl)-7-fluoro-2-aminofluorene)
on the conformation of arylamine-DNA lesions in relation to E. coli nucleotide excision repair (JainV., HiltonB., LinB., PatnaikS., LiangF., DarianE., ZouY., MackerellA. D.Jr., and ChoB. P. (2013) , 41, 869−88023180767). Here,
we report the differential effects of the same pair of sequences on
DNA replication in vitro by the polymerases exofree
Klenow fragment (Kf-exo–) and Dpo4. We obtained
dynamic 19F NMR spectra for two 19-mer modified templates
during primer elongation: G*CA [d(5′-CTTACCATCG*CAACCATTC-3′)]
and G*CT [d(5′-CTTACCATCG*CTACCATTC-3′)].
We found that lesion stacking is favored in the G*CT sequence compared to the G*CA counterpart. Surface
plasmon resonance binding results showed consistently weaker affinities
for the modified DNA with the binding strength in the order of FABP
> FAF and G*CA > G*CT. Primer extension was stalled at
(n) and near (n – 1 and n + 1) the lesion site, and the extent of blockage and the extension
rates across the lesion were influenced by not only the DNA sequences
but also the nature of the adduct’s chemical structure (FAF
vs FABP) and the polymerase employed (Kf-exo– vs
Dpo4). Steady-state kinetics analysis with Kf-exo– revealed the most dramatic sequence and lesion effects at the lesion
(n) and postinsertion (n + 1) sites,
respectively. Taken together, these results provide insights into
the important role of lesion-induced conformational heterogeneity
in modulating translesion DNA synthesis.

Abstract
Nucleotide excision repair (NER) is the main pathway used by mammals to remove bulky DNA lesions such as those formed by UV light, environmental mutagens, and some cancer chemotherapeutic adducts from DNA. Deficiencies in NER are associated with the extremely skin cancer-prone inherited disorder xeroderma pigmentosum. Although the core NER reaction and the factors that execute it have been known for some years, recent studies have led to a much more detailed understanding of the NER mechanism, how NER operates in the context of chromatin, and how it is connected to other cellular processes such as DNA damage signaling and transcription. This review emphasizes biochemical, structural, cell biological, and genetic studies since 2005 that have shed light on many aspects of the NER pathway.

Abstract
The use of pharmaceuticals for colon cancer treatment has been increasingly personalized, in part due to the development of new molecular tools. In this review, we discuss the old and new colon cancer chemotherapeutics, and the parameters that have been shown to be predictive of efficacy and safety of these chemotherapeutics. In addition, we discuss how alternate pharmaceuticals have been developed in light of a potential lack of response or resistance to a particular chemotherapeutic.

Abstract
Centrin-2 is an evolutionarily conserved, calmodulin-related protein, which is involved in multiple cellular functions including centrosome regulation and nucleotide excision repair (NER) of DNA. Particularly to exert the latter function, complex formation with the XPC protein, the pivotal NER damage recognition factor, is crucial. Here, we show that the C-terminal half of centrin-2, containing two calcium-binding EF-hand motifs, is necessary and sufficient for both its localization to the centrosome and interaction with XPC. In XPC-deficient cells, nuclear localization of overexpressed centrin-2 largely depends on co-overexpression of XPC, and mutational analyses of the C-terminal domain suggest that XPC and the major binding partner in the centrosome share a common binding surface on the centrin-2 molecule. On the other hand, the N-terminal domain of centrin-2 also contains two EF-hand motifs but shows only low-binding affinity for calcium ions. Although the N-terminal domain is dispensable for enhancement of the DNA damage recognition activity of XPC, it contributes to augmenting rather weak physical interaction between XPC and XPA, another key factor involved in NER. These results suggest that centrin-2 may have evolved to bridge two protein factors, one with high affinity and the other with low affinity, thereby allowing delicate regulation of various biological processes.

Abstract
The interaction of nucleotide excision repair (NER) proteins (XPC-HR23b, RPA, and XPA) with 48-mer DNA duplexes containing the bulky lesion-mimicking fluorescein-substituted derivative of dUMP (5-{3-[6-(carboxyamidofluoresceinyl)amidocapromoyl]allyl}-2'-deoxyuridine-5'-monophosphate) in a cluster with a lesion of another type (apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) site) has been studied. It is shown that XPC-HR23b is modified to a greater extent by the DNA duplex containing an AP site opposite nucleotide adjacent to the fluorescein residue than by DNA containing an AP site shifted to the 3'- or 5'-end of the DNA strand. The efficiency of XPA modification by DNA duplexes containing both AP site and fluorescein residue is higher than that by DNA lacking the bulky lesion; the modification pattern in this case depends on the AP site position. In accordance with its major function, RPA interacts more efficiently with single-stranded DNA than with DNA duplexes, including those bearing bulky lesions. The observed interaction between the proteins involved in nucleotide excision repair and DNA structures containing a bulky lesion processed by NER and the AP site repaired via base excision repair may be significant for both these repair pathways in cells and requires the specific sequence of repair of clustered DNA lesions.

Abstract
Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) is an essential protein for DNA replication, DNA repair, cell cycle regulation, chromatin remodeling, and epigenetics. Many proteins interact with PCNA through the PCNA interacting peptide (PIP)-box or the newly identified AlkB homolog 2 PCNA interacting motif (APIM). The xeroderma pigmentosum group A (XPA) protein, with a central but somewhat elusive role in nucleotide excision repair (NER), contains the APIM sequence suggesting an interaction with PCNA. With an in vivo based approach, using modern techniques in live human cells, we show that APIM in XPA is a functional PCNA interacting motif and that efficient NER of UV lesions is dependent on an intact APIM sequence in XPA. We show that XPA−/− cells complemented with XPA containing a mutated APIM sequence have increased UV sensitivity, reduced repair of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers and (6–4) photoproducts, and are consequently more arrested in S phase as compared to XPA−/− cells complemented with wild type XPA. Notably, XPA colocalizes with PCNA in replication foci and is loaded on newly synthesized DNA in undamaged cells. In addition, the TFIIH subunit XPD, as well as XPF are loaded on DNA together with XPA, and XPC and XPG colocalize with PCNA in replication foci. Altogether, our results suggest a presence of the NER complex in the vicinity of the replisome and a novel role of NER in post-replicative repair.

Abstract
Our earlier studies indicated the high expression of a UV-damaged-DNA binding activity in zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryos at 12 h postfertilization (hpf). Two 30- to 35-kDa polypeptides homologous to the N-terminal lipovitellin 1 (Lv1) domain of the 150-kDa zebrafish vitellogenin 1 (zfVg1) were identified as the damage recognition factors in zebrafish extracts, and the metal-chelating agent 1,10-phenanthroline (OP) was found to inhibit the embryonic UV-damaged-DNA binding activity. This study further explored the DNA damage-sensing components in 12 hpf zebrafish extracts. UV-damaged-DNA binding proteins were enriched from zebrafish extracts by isoelectrofocusing. Both OP-sensitive and OP-stimulated, UV-damaged-DNA binding activities were detected in fractionated zebrafish extracts. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis of proteins captured by an immobilized oligonucleotide carrying a UV-induced (6-4)photoproduct (6-4PP) revealed a 25-kDa polypeptide as the major 6-4PP-binding factor in an OP-stimulated fraction. Three 25-kDa factors that bound weakly to 6-4PPs were also isolated. The four polypeptides having pIs between 7.0 and 7.3 were unreactive to an anti-zfVg1 antibody targeting the Lv1 domain. Mass spectral analysis showed the appearance of amino acid sequences LPIIVTTYAK and IPEITMSK in all 25-kDa polypeptides and sequences exactly matching those contained in the four factors exist only in the C-terminal Lv2 domain of zfVg1, reflecting the origination of these factors from enzymatic cleavage of the Lv2 domain at slightly different positions. The OP-stimulated fraction produced a much stronger UV-dependent DNA incision activity in the presence than in the absence of OP, suggesting the association of these factors with DNA damage repair under metal-deficient conditions.

Abstract
DNA repair function is believed to play an important role in cancer development and to be affected by genetic polymorphisms. Numerous epidemiological studies have examined the associations between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the DNA repair genes and lung cancer risk, but the results are inconsistent. The aim of this study was to investigate the associations of several SNPs in the DNA repair pathways and risk of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in a Chinese population. The study included 581 NSCLC cases and 603 healthy controls. The polymorphisms studied include XRCC1 (rs25487), hOGG1 (rs1052133), MUTYH (rs3219489) in the base excision repair (BER) pathway, XPA (rs1800975), ERCC2 (rs1799793 and rs13181) in the nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathway and XRCC3 (rs861539) in the double strand break repair (DSB) pathway. The associations between lung cancer risk and genetic polymorphisms were evaluated using the logistic regression models and subgroup analyses. Meta-analyses were conducted for the SNPs shown to be significantly associated with lung cancer risk in our study. Our findings showed that XPA -4G>A (rs1800975) had a significant association with lung cancer (OR=1.64; 95% CI: 1.03-2.60), and the association was more evident in squamous cell carcinoma (OR=1.69; 95% CI: 1.00-2.84). Three BER polymorphisms showed no independent effects on the risk of lung cancer. The stratified analysis showed higher lung cancer risk among the smokers carrying the variant XPA allele (OR=1.75; 95% CI: 1.15-2.65) and among the non-smokers carrying the variant ERCC2 allele of 312Asn (OR=2.10; 95% CI: 1.22-3.64). Meta-analysis showed that individuals with the variant AA genotype of XPA (-4G>A) had higher risk of lung cancer compared to those with the 'G' wild allele (OR=1.28; 95% CI: 1.12-1.47); and those with variant alleles of ERCC2 312Asn had higher risk compared to those with wild 312Asp alleles among nonsmokers (OR=1.58; 95% CI: 1.20-2.08). Although smoking is the dominant risk factor of lung cancer, XPA -4G>A (rs1800975) is also associated with the risk of NSCLC, especially for squamous cell carcinoma, among Asian young smokers. ERCC2 Asp/Asn (rs1799793) polymorphism may also affect lung cancer risk among nonsmokers. The NER pathway seems to have more strong influences on lung cancer than the BER pathway.

Abstract
The xeroderma pigmentosum group A protein (XPA) is a core component of nucleotide excision repair (NER). To coordinate early stage NER, XPA interacts with various proteins, including replication protein A (RPA), ERCC1, DDB2, and TFIIH, in addition to UV-damaged or chemical carcinogen-damaged DNA. In this study, we investigated the effects of mutations in the RPA binding regions of XPA on XPA function in NER. XPA binds through an N-terminal region to the middle subunit (RPA32) of the RPA heterotrimer and through a central region that overlaps with its damaged DNA binding region to the RPA70 subunit. In cell-free NER assays, an N-terminal deletion mutant of XPA showed loss of binding to RPA32 and reduced DNA repair activity, but it could still bind to UV-damaged DNA and RPA. In contrast, amino acid substitutions in the central region reduced incisions at the damaged site in the cell-free NER assay, and four of these mutants (K141A, T142A, K167A, and K179A) showed reduced binding to RPA70 but normal binding to damaged DNA. Furthermore, mutants that had one of the four aforementioned substitutions and an N-terminal deletion exhibited lower DNA incision activity and binding to RPA than XPA with only one of these substitutions or the deletion. Taken together, these results indicate that XPA interaction with both RPA32 and RPA70 is indispensable for NER reactions.

Abstract
Nucleotide excision repair (NER) is the main pathway used for the repair of bulky DNA adducts such as those caused by UV light exposure and the chemotherapeutic drug cisplatin. The xeroderma pigmentosum group C (XPC)-Rad23B complex is involved in the recognition of these bulky DNA adducts and initiates the global genomic nucleotide excision repair pathway (GG-NER). Photo-cross-linking experiments revealed that the human XPC-Rad23B complex makes direct contact with both the cisplatin-damaged DNA strand and the complementary undamaged strand of a duplex DNA substrate. Coupling photo-cross-linking with denaturation and immunoprecipitation of protein-DNA complexes, we identified the XPC subunit in complex with damaged DNA. While the interaction of the XPC subunit with DNA was direct, studies revealed that although Rad23B was found in complex with DNA, the Rad23B-DNA interaction was largely indirect via its interaction with XPC. Using site specific cross-linking, we determined that the XPC-Rad23B complex is preferentially cross-linked to the damaged DNA when the photoreactive FAP-dCMP (exo-N-{2-[N-(4-azido-2,5-difluoro-3-chloropyridin-6-yl)-3-aminopropionyl]aminoethyl}-2'-deoxycytidine 5'-monophosphate) analogue is located to the 5' side of the cisplatin-DNA adduct. When the FAP-dCMP analogue is located to the 3' side of the adduct, no difference in binding was detected between undamaged and damaged DNA. Collectively, these data suggest a model in which XPC-DNA interactions drive the damage recognition process contacting both the damaged and undamaged DNA strand. Preferential cross-linking 5' of the cisplatin-damaged site suggests that the XPC-Rad23B complex displays orientation specific binding to eventually impart directionality to the downstream binding and incision events relative to the site of DNA damage.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Neoadjuvant treatment strategies have been developed to improve survival of patients with locally advanced esophageal cancer. Since only patients with major histopathological response benefit from this therapy, predictive markers are needed. We examined a panel of selected gene polymorphisms to predict response to neoadjuvant radiochemotherapy (cisplatin, 5-fluorouracil, 36 Gy) in esophageal cancer patients. MATERIALS AND METHOD Genomic DNA was extracted from paraffin-embedded tissues of 52 patients. Allelic genotyping was performed by real-time polymerase chain reaction using allele-specific TaqMan probes and correlated with therapy response. RESULTS Single-nucleotide polymorphism ERCC1 C118T was predictive for therapy response (p < 0.003). Within the TT genotype group of 25 patients, 20 (80%) did not respond to chemoradiation. Of 20 patients with heterogeneous C/T genotype, 14 (70%) were major responders. The CC genotype (seven patients) was not of predictive importance. ERCC1 polymorphism was significantly (p < 0.02) associated with formation of lymph node metastases. Predominant GG genotype of XRCC1 A194G was not predictive; however, the rarely occurring AA genotype was response-associated and the A/G variant was associated with nonresponse. Fifteen additionally analyzed polymorphisms did not show any correlation. CONCLUSION Our data support the role of ERCC1 as a predictive marker for therapy response. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms of ERCC1 and XRCC1 could be applied to further individualize treatment strategies.

Abstract
Psoralen is a chemotherapeutic agent that acts by producing DNA interstrand crosslinks (ICLs), which are especially cytotoxic and mutagenic because their complex chemical nature makes them difficult to repair. Proteins from multiple repair pathways, including nucleotide excision repair (NER), are involved in their removal in mammalian cells, but the exact nature of their repair is poorly understood. We have shown previously that HMGB1, a protein involved in chromatin structure, transcriptional regulation, and inflammation, can bind cooperatively to triplex-directed psoralen ICLs with RPA, and that mammalian cells lacking HMGB1 are hypersensitive to psoralen ICLs. However, whether this effect is mediated by a role for HMGB1 in DNA damage recognition is still unknown. Given HMGB1's ability to bind to damaged DNA and its interaction with the RPA protein, we hypothesized that HMGB1 works together with the NER damage recognition proteins to aid in the removal of ICLs. We show here that HMGB1 is capable of binding to triplex-directed psoralen ICLs with the dedicated NER damage recognition complex XPC-RAD23B, as well as XPA-RPA, and that they form a higher-order complex on these lesions. In addition, we demonstrate that HMGB1 interacts with XPC-RAD23B and XPA in the absence of DNA. These findings directly demonstrate interactions between HMGB1 and the NER damage recognition proteins, and suggest that HMGB1 may affect ICL repair by enhancing the interactions between NER damage recognition factors.

Abstract
DNA repair capacity (DRC) is correlated with sensitivity of cancer cells toward platinum-based chemotherapy. We hypothesize that genetic polymorphisms in DNA repair gene XPA (xeroderma pigmentosum group A) and XPG (xeroderma pigmentosum group G) (ERCC5, excision repair cross-complementation group 5), which result in inter-individual differences in DNA repair efficiency, may predict clinical response to platinum agents in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. In this study, we find that the Aright curved arrow G change of XPA A23G polymorphism significantly increased response to platinum-based chemotherapy. Polymorphism in XPG His46His was associated with a decreased treatment response, but was not statistically significant.

Abstract
Damaged DNA-binding protein (DDB), consisting of DDB1 and DDB2 subunits recognizes a wide spectrum of DNA lesions. DDB is dispensable for in vitro nucleotide excision repair (NER) reaction, but stimulates this reaction especially for cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer (CPD). Here we show that DDB directly interacts with XPA, one of core NER factors, mainly through DDB2 subunit and the amino-acid residues between 185 and 226 in XPA are important for the interaction. Interestingly, the point mutation causing the substitution from Arg-207 to Gly, which was previously identified in a XP-A revertant cell-line XP129, diminished the interaction with DDB in vitro and in vivo. In a defined system containing R207G mutant XPA and other core NER factors, DDB failed to stimulate the excision of CPD, although the mutant XPA was competent for the basal NER reaction. Moreover, in vivo experiments revealed that the mutant XPA is recruited to damaged DNA sites with much less efficiency compared with wild-type XPA and fails to support the enhancement of CPD repair by ectopic expression of DDB2 in SV40-transformed human cells. These results suggest that the physical interaction between DDB and XPA plays an important role in the DDB-mediated NER reaction.

Abstract
The 31 kDa XPA protein is part of the core incision complex of the mammalian nucleotide excision repair (NER) system and interacts with DNA as well as with many other NER subunits. In the absence of XPA, no incision complex can form and no excision of damaged DNA damage occurs. A comparative analysis of the DNA-binding properties in the presence of different substrate conformations indicated that XPA protein interacts preferentially with kinked DNA backbones. The DNA-binding domain of XPA protein displays a positively charged deft that is involved in an indirect readout mechanism, presumably by detecting the increased negative potential encountered at sharp DNA bends. We propose that this indirect recognition function contributes to damage verification by probing the susceptibility of the DNA substrate to be kinked during the assembly of NER complexes.

Abstract
To investigate how the nucleotide excision repair initiator XPC locates DNA damage in mammalian cell nuclei we analyzed the dynamics of GFP-tagged XPC. Photobleaching experiments showed that XPC constantly associates with and dissociates from chromatin in the absence of DNA damage. DNA-damaging agents retard the mobility of XPC, and UV damage has the most pronounced effect on the mobility of XPC-GFP. XPC exhibited a surprising distinct dynamic behavior and subnuclear distribution compared with other NER factors. Moreover, we uncovered a novel regulatory mechanism for XPC. Under unchallenged conditions, XPC is continuously exported from and imported into the nucleus, which is impeded when NER lesions are present. XPC is omnipresent in the nucleus, allowing a quick response to genotoxic stress. To avoid excessive DNA probing by the low specificity of the protein, the steady-state level in the nucleus is controlled by nucleus-cytoplasm shuttling, allowing temporally higher concentrations of XPC in the nucleus under genotoxic stress conditions.

Abstract
Fibroblasts isolated from long-lived hypopituitary dwarf mice are resistant to many cell stresses, including ultraviolet (UV) light and methyl methane sulfonate (MMS), which induce cell death by producing DNA damage. Here we report that cells from Snell dwarf mice recover more rapidly than controls from the inhibition of RNA synthesis induced by UV damage. Recovery of messenger RNA (mRNA) synthesis in particular is more rapid in dwarf cells, suggesting enhanced repair of the actively transcribing genes in dwarf-derived cells. At early time points, there was no difference in the repair of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPD) or 6-4 photoproducts (6-4PP) in the whole genome, nor was there any significant difference in the repair of UV lesions in specific genes. However, at later time points we found that more lesions had been removed from the genome of dwarf-derived cells. We have also found that cells from dwarf mice express higher levels of the nucleotide excision repair proteins XPC and CSA, suggesting a causal link to enhanced DNA repair. Overall, these data suggest a mechanism for the UV resistance of Snell dwarf-derived fibroblasts that could contribute to the delay of aging and neoplasia in these mice.

Abstract
In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae the Rad4-Rad23 complex is implicated in the initial damage recognition of the Nucleotide Excision Repair (NER) pathway. NER removes a variety of lesions via two subpathways: Transcription Coupled Repair (TCR) and Global Genome Repair (GGR). We previously showed that the new NER protein Rad33 is involved in both NER subpathways TCR and GGR. In the present study we show UV induced modification of Rad4 that is strongly increased in cells deleted for RAD33. Modification of Rad4 in rad33 cells does not require the incision reaction but is dependent on the TCR factor Rad26. The predicted structure of Rad33 shows resemblance to the Centrin homologue Cdc31. In human cells, Centrin2 binds to XPC and is involved in NER. We demonstrate that Rad4 binds Rad33 directly and via the same conserved amino acids required for the interaction of XPC with Centrin2. Disruption of the Rad4-Rad33 interaction is sufficient to enhance the modification of Rad4 and results in a repair defect similar to that of a rad33 mutant. The current study suggests that the role of Rad33 in the Rad4-Rad23 complex might have parallels with the role of Centrin2 in the XPC-HHR23B complex.

Abstract
Nucleotide excision repair is a cut-and-patch pathway that eliminates potentially mutagenic DNA lesions caused by ultraviolet light, electrophilic chemicals, oxygen radicals and many other genetic insults. Unlike antigen recognition by the immune system, which employs billions of immunoglobulins and T-cell receptors, the nucleotide excision repair complex relies on just a few generic factors to detect an extremely wide range of DNA adducts. This molecular versatility is achieved by a bipartite strategy initiated by the detection of abnormal strand fluctuations, followed by the localization of injured residues through an enzymatic scanning process coupled to DNA unwinding. The early recognition subunits are able to probe the thermodynamic properties of nucleic acid substrates but avoid direct contacts with chemically altered bases. Only downstream subunits of the bipartite recognition process interact more closely with damaged bases to delineate the sites of DNA incision. Thus, consecutive factors expand the spectrum of deleterious genetic lesions conveyed to DNA repair by detecting distinct molecular features of target substrates.

Abstract
Live cell studies of DNA repair mechanisms are greatly enhanced by new developments in real-time visualization of repair factors in living cells. Combined with recent advances in local sub-nuclear DNA damage induction procedures these methods have yielded detailed information on the dynamics of damage recognition and repair. Here we analyze and discuss the various types of DNA damage induced in cells by three different local damage induction methods: pulsed 800 nm laser irradiation, Hoechst 33342 treatment combined with 405 nm laser irradiation and UV-C (266 nm) laser irradiation. A wide variety of damage was detected with the first two methods, including pyrimidine dimers and single- and double-strand breaks. However, many aspects of the cellular response to presensitization by Hoechst 33342 and subsequent 405 nm irradiation were aberrant from those to every other DNA damaging method described here or in the literature. Whereas, application of low-dose 266 nm laser irradiation induced only UV-specific DNA photo-lesions allowing the study of the UV-C-induced DNA damage response in a user-defined area in cultured cells.

Abstract
Polymorphisms in nucleotide excision repair genes have been associated with risk for lung cancer. We examined gene-environment interactions in relation to lung cancer in 430 cases and 790 comparison persons identified within a prospective cohort of 57,053 persons. We included polymorphisms in the XPC, XPA and XPD genes involved in the nucleotide excision DNA repair pathway and analysed possible interactions with smoking and dietary intake of fruit and vegetables in relation to risk for lung cancer. We found that intake of fruit was associated with lower risk for lung cancer only among carriers of the XPA A23G variant genotype. The incidence rate ratio for lung cancer was 0.60 (95% confidence interval: 0.43-0.84; p=0.003) per 50% increase in fruit intake. No convincing interactions were detected between the polymorphisms and smoking.

In view of the difficulty of obtaining human biological samples of homogeneous origin, I have established a set of stable human clones where one DNA repair gene has been stably silenced by means of RNA interference. I used pEBVsiRNA plasmids that greatly enhance long-term gene silencing in human cells. My older clones reached >500 days in culture. Knock-down HeLa clones maintained a gene silencing phenotype for an extended period in culture, demonstrating that I was able to mimic cells from cancer-prone syndromes. I have silenced >20 genes acting as sensors/transducers (ATM, ATR, Rad50, NBS1, MRE11, PARG and KIN17), or of different DNA repair pathways. In HeLa cells, I have switched off the expression of genes involved in nucleotide excision repair (XPA, XPC, hHR23A, hHR23B, CSA and CSB), nonhomologous end-joining (DNA-PKcs, XRCC4 and Ligase IV), homologous recombination repair (Rad51 and Rad54), or base excision repair (Ogg1 and Ligase III). These cells displayed the expected DNA repair phenotype. We could envisage untangling the complex network between the different DNA repair pathways. In this study, no viral vehicles, with their attendant ethical and safety concerns, were used.

Abstract
The effect of the polymorphism of the DNA repair gene ERCC2/XPD Asp312Asn on the risk of lung cancer was investigated in a northeastern Chinese population. A hospital-based case-control study consisted of 201 lung cancer cases and 171 cancer-free controls matched to age, sex, and ethnicity. A polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism method was used for genotyping. Frequency of the variant C-allele of ERCC2 Asp312Asn was 0.006 among the controls in present study, which differs markedly from previous reports both in European ancestry populations and in other Chinese populations (all P < 0.001). The polymorphism was not associated with risk of lung cancer. Haplotype analysis including three previously studied polymorphisms (ERCC1 Asn118Asn, ERCC2 Arg156Arg, and ERCC2 Lys751Gln) revealed that a haplotype consisting of ERCC1Asn118Asn(G)-ERCC2 Arg156Arg(C)-ERCC2 Asp312Asn(G)-ERCC2 Lys751Gln(C) was marginally associated with an increased risk of lung cancer (OR = 3.61, 95% CI = 1.00-13.06, P = 0.04). Our data suggest that the polymorphism ERCC2 Lys751Gln or a haplotype encompassing the variant allele is associated with risk of lung cancer in this population. Studies including larger sample sizes are needed to elucidate the effects of these polymorphisms on lung cancer risk in this northeastern Chinese population.

Abstract
Selenium in various chemical forms has been the subject of cancer chemoprevention trials, but, more recently, selenium has been used in combination with DNA-damaging chemotherapeutics. Specifically, selenium protected tissues from dose-limiting toxicity and, in fact, allowed delivery of higher chemotherapeutic doses. At the same time, selenium did not protect cancer cells. Therefore, we seek to define the genetic basis for the observed selectivity of selenium in combination chemotherapeutics. The tumor suppressor p53 is mutated in the vast majority of cancers, but is by definition wild-type in nontarget tissues such as bone marrow and gut epithelium, tissues that are often dose-limiting due to DNA damage. We used primary, low-passage mouse embryonic fibroblasts that are wild-type or null for p53 genes to test differential effects of selenium. Seleno-l-methionine, nontoxic by itself, was used to pretreat cell cultures before exposure to UV radiation or UV-mimetic cancer chemotherapy drugs. Seleno-l-methionine pretreatment caused a DNA repair response, which protected from subsequent challenge with DNA-damaging agents. The observed DNA repair response and subsequent DNA damage protection were p53 dependent as neither was observed in p53-null cells. The data suggest that (a) p53 may be an important genetic determinant that distinguishes normal cells from cancer cells, and (b) combinatorial chemotherapeutics that act by p53-dependent mechanisms may enhance chemotherapeutic efficacy by increasing the chemotherapeutic window distinguishing cancer cells from normal cells.

Abstract
XPC is a 940-residue multidomain protein critical for the sensing of aberrant DNA and initiation of global genome nucleotide excision repair. The C-terminal portion of XPC (residues 492-940; XPC-C) has critical interactions with DNA, RAD23B, CETN2, and TFIIH, whereas functional roles have not yet been assigned to the N-terminal portion (residues 1-491; XPC-N). In order to analyze the molecular basis for XPC function and mutational defects associated with xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) disease, a series of stable bacterially expressed N- and C-terminal fragments were designed on the basis of sequence analysis and produced for biochemical characterization. Limited proteolysis experiments combined with mass spectrometry revealed that the full XPC-C is stable but XPC-N is not. However, a previously unrecognized folded helical structural domain was found within XPC-N, XPC(156-325). Pull-down and protease protection assays demonstrated that XPC(156-325) physically interacts with the DNA repair factor XPA, establishing the first functional role for XPC-N. XPC-C exhibits binding characteristics of the full-length protein, including stimulation of DNA binding by physical interaction with RAD23B and CETN2. Analysis of an XPC missense mutation (Trp690Ser) found in certain patients with XP disease revealed that this mutation is associated with a diminished ability to bind DNA. Evidence of contributions to protein interactions from regions in both XPC-N and XPC-C along with recently recognized homologies to yeast PNGase prompted construction of a structural model of a folded XPC core. This model offers key insights into how domains from the two portions of the protein may cooperate in generating specific XPC functions.

Abstract
Polymorphisms in the XPD and the XPC gene have been associated with a lower DNA repair capacity. We determined the risk of colorectal cancer in association with the four polymorphisms XPA A23G, XPC Lys939Gln, XPD Lys751Gln and XPD Asp312Asn, and interactions between the polymorphisms and the environmental factors: smoking intensity, intake of alcohol, red meat, processed meat, fish and poultry, fruits and vegetables and dietary fibres, in relation to development of colorectal cancer in a study population of 405 colorectal cancer cases and a comparison group of 810 persons, nested within the Danish prospective cohort, Diet, Cancer and Health, of 57053 cohort members. No association was found between the XPC Lys939Gln, XPA A23G, XPD Lys751Gln, and XPD Asp312Asn polymorphisms and risk of colorectal cancer. The association of the XPD Lys751Gln polymorphism was statistically significantly different between genders, with a lower risk of colorectal cancer among women carrying the variant allele. We observed a statistically significant interaction between the XPC Lys939Gln polymorphism and consumption of red meat, with a 3.7-fold increase in colorectal cancer risk per 100g red meat intake per day among carriers of the homozygous variant, but virtually no effect of red meat intake among carriers of the wild type allele. In the light of the multiple comparisons being made, this result may be a chance finding. The results showed no interaction between the XPD Lys751Gln, XPA A23G, and XPD Asp312Asn polymorphisms and the environmental factors for the development of colorectal cancer. Overall, the results of the present study indicate that the four polymorphisms are not of major importance in colorectal cancer carcinogenesis.

Abstract
Several mouse models with defects in genes encoding components of the nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathway have been developed. In NER two different sub-pathways are known, i.e. transcription-coupled repair (TC-NER) and global-genome repair (GG-NER). A defect in one particular NER protein can lead to a (partial) defect in GG-NER, TC-NER or both. GG-NER defects in mice predispose to cancer, both spontaneous as well as UV-induced. As such these models (Xpa, Xpc and Xpe) recapitulate the human xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) syndrome. Defects in TC-NER in humans are associated with Cockayne syndrome (CS), a disease not linked to tumor development. Mice with TC-NER defects (Csa and Csb) are - except for the skin - not susceptible to develop (carcinogen-induced) tumors. Some NER factors, i.e. XPB, XPD, XPF, XPG and ERCC1 have functions outside NER, like transcription initiation and inter-strand crosslink repair. Deficiencies in these processes in mice lead to very severe phenotypes, like trichothiodystrophy (TTD) or a combination of XP and CS. In most cases these animals have a (very) short life span, display segmental progeria, but do not develop tumors. Here we will overview the available NER-related mouse models and will discuss their phenotypes in terms of (chemical-induced) tissue-specific tumor development, mutagenesis and premature aging features.

Abstract
Interaction of nucleotide excision repair factors--replication protein A (RPA) and Xeroderma pigmentosum complementing group A protein (XPA)--with DNA structures containing nucleotides with bulky photoreactive groups imitating damaged nucleotides was investigated. Efficiency of photoaffinity modification of two proteins by photoreactive DNAs varied depending on DNA structure and type of photoreactive group. The secondary structure of DNA and, first of all, the presence of extended single-stranded parts plays a key role in recognition by RPA. However, it was shown that RPA efficiently interacts with DNA duplex containing a bulky substituent at the 5 -end of a nick. XPA was shown to prefer the nicked DNA; however, this protein was cross-linked with approximately equal efficiency by single-stranded and double-stranded DNA containing a bulky substituent inside the strand. XPA seems to be sensitive not only to the structure of DNA double helix, but also to a bulky group incorporated into DNA. The mechanism of damage recognition in the process of nucleotide excision repair is discussed.

Abstract
AIM This study was performed to investigate the range of optimal concentration and mechanisms of paclitaxel (PXL) radio-enhancement in gastrointestinal cancer cell lines HT29 and MKN45. METHODS Cell growth inhibition by PXL pretreatment at various concentrations (0-10 microM) followed by irradiation was investigated using a modified MTT assay. To investigate the mechanisms of the observed radio-enhancement, flow cytometry was conducted to define the cell cycle distributions. Furthermore, the alterations in expression of a DNA repair molecule [excision repair cross-complementation group1 (ERCC1)] and an angiogenesis factor [vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)] induced by PXL were investigated. RESULTS Cytotoxic concentrations of PXL (0.1-10 microM) that cause accumulation of cells in the G2/M phase have strong radio-enhancing effects and inhibit total cell growth. The maximal non-cytotoxic concentration of PXL (0.01 microM) also had a radio-enhancing effect. The expression of the genes of ERCC1 and VEGF induced by radiation was suppressed by PXL pretreatment. The protein secretion of VEGF induced by radiation was suppressed at cytotoxic doses of PXL, and the induced protein secretion of ERCC1 was also suppressed even at maximal non-cytotoxic doses of PXL. CONCLUSION The range of optimal concentration for PXL pretreatment was 0.01-0.1 microM in these cells. Two major mechanisms of radio-enhancement are suggested: (1) PXL induces G2/M arrest leading to increased DNA damage after radiation, which results in mitotic death, and (2) PXL suppresses the expression of radiation-induced DNA repair molecules and angiogenesis factors, resulting in inhibition of cell growth and cell death.

Abstract
Processing of DNA in replication, repair and recombination pathways in cells of all organisms requires the participation of at least one major single-stranded DNA (ssDNA)-binding protein. This protein protects ssDNA from nucleolytic damage, prevents hairpin formation and blocks DNA reannealing until the processing pathway is successfully completed. Many ssDNA-binding proteins interact physically and functionally with a variety of other DNA processing proteins. These interactions are thought to temporally order and guide the parade of proteins that 'trade places' on the ssDNA, a model known as 'hand-off', as the processing pathway progresses. How this hand-off mechanism works remains poorly understood. Recent studies of the conserved eukaryotic ssDNA-binding protein replication protein A (RPA) suggest a novel mechanism by which proteins may trade places on ssDNA by binding to RPA and mediating conformation changes that alter the ssDNA-binding properties of RPA. This article reviews the structure and function of RPA, summarizes recent studies of RPA in DNA replication and other DNA processing pathways, and proposes a general model for the role of RPA in protein-mediated hand-off.
