To analyze the function of the xeroderma pigmentosum group A (XPA) protein in strand-specific DNA repair, we examined repair of UV-induced cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer (CPD) in transcribed and non-transcribed strands of the dihydrofolate reductase gene of xeroderma pigmentosum group A (XP-A) cell line (XP12ROSV) which was transfected with various types of mutant XPA cDNA. The transfectant overexpressing mutant XPA with a defect in the interaction with either ERCC1, replication protein A (RPA), or general transcription factor TFIIH, showed more or less decreased repair of CPD in each strand in parallel, while in the transfectant overexpressing R207G (Arg207to Gly) mutant XPA derived from XP129, a UV-resistant XP12ROSV revertant, the rate of CPD repair was almost normal in each strand. We also examined the dose responses of the XPA protein on CPD repair in each strand by the modulation of the expression levels of wild-type or R207G mutant XPA using an inducible expression system, LacSwitchtrade mark promoter. There were good correlations between the rate of CPD repair in each strand and the amount of XPA protein produced in these Lac cells. Our results indicate that the XPA protein is equally important for the CPD repair in both transcribed and non-transcribed strands and that the R207G mutation found in XP129 may not be responsible for a selective defect in CPD repair in the non-transcribed strand in XP129.

D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D011740 Pyrimidine Dimers Dimers found in DNA chains damaged by ULTRAVIOLET RAYS. They consist of two adjacent PYRIMIDINE NUCLEOTIDES, usually THYMINE nucleotides, in which the pyrimidine residues are covalently joined by a cyclobutane ring. These dimers block DNA REPLICATION.

D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.

D013762 Tetrahydrofolate Dehydrogenase An enzyme of the oxidoreductase class that catalyzes the reaction 7,8-dihyrofolate and NADPH to yield 5,6,7,8-tetrahydrofolate and NADPH+, producing reduced folate for amino acid metabolism, purine ring synthesis, and the formation of deoxythymidine monophosphate. Methotrexate and other folic acid antagonists used as chemotherapeutic drugs act by inhibiting this enzyme. (Dorland, 27th ed) EC 1.5.1.3.
