XPF Nucleotide Excision Repair
Xerderma Pigmentosum (XP) • UV Light Sensitivity • Early Age Freckling • Severe Sunburning • Keratosis • Neurological defects • Non-melonoma skin cancer ~10 yrs • basal and squamous cell carcinomas and melanomas • 1000x increase in risk of cancer • autosomal recessive inheritance • tumor suppressor Image from: institut national de recherche pédagogiquehttp://www.inrp.fr/Acces/biotic/gpe/dossiers/xeroderma/html/phenomacr.htm
XP: Complementation Groups • 8 subtypes identified by Cell-Fusion Complementation Tests • XPA-G : Nucleotide Excision Repair • XPV: DNA polymerase Sugasawa 2008
UV Light and DNA Damage • cyclobutane pyrimidinedimer (CPD) (A) • pyrimidine -pyrimidone photoproduct (B) • bulky base adducts Sinha and Hӓder, 2002
Nucleotide Excision Repair Sugasawa 2008
ERCC1-XPF Complex • XPF: 5’ endonuclease • ERCC1: interacts with DNA through helix–hairpin–helix (HhH) motif at C-terminus • Only one recorded instance of human deficiency • XPF Homologs: • S.cerevisiae: Rad1 • Schizosaccharomyces pombe: rad16 • Drosophila melanogaster: MEI-9 • Mouse: ERCC4
Identification of cDNA of XPF • Cloned using rt-PCR fragment of Rad1 in a humantestis cDNA library • Encodes 115 kD protein • Chromosome 16p13.1–13.2 Sijbers et al.1996
5’ Endonuclease Activity Chinese Hamster Cell Model Shows ERCC1-XPF is necessary for 5’ incisions that only occur in coupled reactions Sijbers et al.1996
Mouse Models ERCC1 (-/-) Knockout Mice: -died before weening -liver failure -kidney and vascular defects McWhir et al 1993 Reduced Function ERCC1 mice -growth retardation -lack of subcutaneous fat -no similar symptoms of XP -liver and vascular defects Weeda et al 1997
XPF in Humans • Majority of cases in Japan • Rare complementation group • Overall XP(all groups): 1 : 250,000 in US (Cleaver et al 1999)
XP Treatments • Palliative Care • Avoidance of UV with frequent check ups • Keratosis treatment with isotrentinoin (prevention) and ctyotherapy and fluorouracil • Applied Genetics, Inc.'s • T4N5 endonuclease study (Phase III) • T4 endonuclease V encapsulated in liposome in cream
Future Directions • XPF role in homologous recombination • Its role outside of the NER complex
