I added general information "background" about (Transcription factors II H) and TFIIH function, how the TFIIH involved in causing various diseases.

Transcription Factor II H

[edit]

Transcription Factor II H is an important protein complex, having roles in DNA nucleotide excision repair pathways and transcription of various protein-coding genes. TFIIH first came to light in 1989 when general transcription factor-δ or basic transcription factor 2 was characterized as an indispensable transcription factor in vitro. This factor was also isolated from yeast and finally named as TFIIH in 1992.[1]

Mammalian TFIIH is a multiprotein complex having ten subunits that consists of two further functional sub complexes: the core complex, which is composed of six subunits (XPB), p62, p52, p44, p34 and p8); and the CAK (cyclin-dependent kinase activating kinase) complex, which is composed of CDK7, cyclin H and MAT1. The core and CAK sub complexes are joined together by the XPD subunit, which interacts with p44 and MAT1 of the core and CAK sub complexes, respectively. [2] In nucleotide excision repair (NER), TFIIH functions to open the DNA around the area of lesion and allow the excision of the damaged oligonucleotide and then replacing it with a new DNA fragment.

TFIIH functions:

[edit]

After a DNA lesion has been recognized by either the global genome repair (GGR) pathway or the transcription-coupled repair (TCR) pathway of NER [3]. TFIIH is also responsible for transcription of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) by Pol I [4] [5] and in the synthesis of 5S rRNA, tRNA and other small RNAs that are transcribed by Pol III [6] [7] .

TFIIH involved in causing various diseases:

[edit]

Genetic polymorphisms of genes that encode subunits of TFIIH (such as XPD and XPB) are known to be associated with increased cancer susceptibility in many tissues, e.g.; skin tissue, breast tissue and lung tissue [8] [9]. In addition to genetic variations, virus-encoded proteins also target TFIIH.
