DNA repair protein complementing XP-A cells is a protein that in humans is encoded by the XPA gene.[4]

Function

[edit]

Nucleotide excision repair (NER) is a major pathway for repairing a variety of bulky DNA damages including those introduced by UV irradiation. The XPA protein appears to play a key role in NER at sites of damage as a scaffold for other repair proteins in order to ensure that the damages are appropriately excised.[5] Among the repair proteins with which XPA interacts is a protein complex (including the ERCC1 protein) that is capable of incising DNA at sites of damage.[6]

Xpa mutant individuals often show the severe clinical symptoms of xeroderma pigmentosum, a condition involving extreme sensitivity to sunlight and a high incidence of skin cancer.

Interactions

[edit]

XPA has been shown to interact with ERCC1,[6][7] Replication protein A1[8] and XAB2.[9]
