HOW A SUN PROTECTION COMPLEX MOONLIGHTS IN PROTEOLYSIS

Our long-term goal is to understand the mechanism and function of the ubiquitin- proteasome system in health and disease. This proposal focuses on the function of the XPC-Rad23 complex in DNA damage response and proteolysis. Mutations in XPC protein lead to a genetic disorder Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) that exhibits extreme sunlight sensitivity and a strong propensity for skin cancer. XPC was known previously as a key DNA repair factor that cells employ to protect from sunlight-inflicted DNA injury.
