The encoded protein is important for damage sensing and DNA binding, and shows a preference for single-stranded DNA. Mutations in this gene or some other NER components can result in Xeroderma pigmentosum, a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by increased sensitivity to sunlight with the development of carcinomas at an early age. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2017]. * **UniProt Summary**: Involved in global genome nucleotide excision repair (GG-NER) by acting as damage sensing and DNA-binding factor component of the XPC complex. Has only a low DNA repair activity by itself which is stimulated by RAD23B and RAD23A. Has a preference to bind DNA containing a short single-stranded segment but not to damaged oligonucleotides. This feature is proposed to be related to a dynamic sensor function: XPC can rapidly screen duplex DNA for non-hydrogen-bonded bases by forming a transient nucleoprotein intermediate complex which matures into a stable recognition complex through an intrinsic single-stranded DNA- binding activity. |Rad4| |BHD 1| |BHD 2| |BHD 3| |nucleotide-excision repair factor 2 complex| |heteroduplex DNA loop binding| |UV-damage excision repair, DNA incision| |XPC complex| |pyrimidine dimer repair by nucleotide-excision repair| |nucleotide-excision repair complex| |bubble DNA binding| |pyrimidine dimer repair| |UV-damage excision repair| |intra-S DNA damage checkpoint| |response to UV-B| |site of DNA damage| |nucleotide-excision repair, DNA duplex unwinding| |nucleotide-excision repair, DNA damage recognition| |global genome nucleotide-excision repair| |response to auditory stimulus| |nucleotide-excision repair, preincision complex assembly| |mismatch repair| |damaged DNA binding| |cellular response to UV| |mitotic DNA damage checkpoint| |mitotic DNA integrity checkpoint| |single-stranded DNA binding| |DNA duplex unwinding| |nucleotide-excision repair| |cellular response to light stimulus| |DNA geometric change| |DNA damage checkpoint| |response to UV| |DNA integrity checkpoint| |mitotic cell cycle checkpoint| |cellular response to radiation| |cell cycle checkpoint| |protein-DNA complex assembly| |response to mechanical stimulus| |protein-DNA complex subunit organization| |protein-containing complex binding| |DNA conformation change| |nucleic acid phosphodiester bond hydrolysis| |response to light stimulus| |negative regulation of mitotic cell cycle| |cellular response to abiotic stimulus| |cellular response to environmental stimulus| |regulation of mitotic cell cycle phase transition| |response to radiation| |regulation of cell cycle phase transition| |DNA repair| |negative regulation of cell cycle| |mitotic cell cycle process| |regulation of mitotic cell cycle| |mitotic cell cycle| |intracellular membrane-bounded organelle| |DNA metabolic process| |regulation of cell cycle process| |cellular response to DNA damage stimulus| |cellular protein-containing complex assembly| |nucleolus| |cell cycle process| |response to drug| |chromosome organization| |response to abiotic stimulus| |regulation of cell cycle| |mitochondrion| |cell cycle| |protein-containing complex assembly| |cellular response to stress| |protein-containing complex subunit organization| \\ === CRISPR Data === ^Screen^Score^ |[[:results:exp446|4-Nitroquinoline-1-oxide 0.5μM R08 exp446]]|-2.35| No correlation found to any other genes in chemogenomics.
