Solution structure of the p8 TFIIH subunit
Contents |
Overview
Trichothiodystrophy (TTD) is a rare hereditary multi-system disorder, associated with defects in nucleotide excision repair (NER) and, transcription as consequences of mutations in XPB, XPD and p8/TTD-A, subunits of transcription factor IIH (TFIIH). Here, we report the solution, structure of the p8/TTD-A protein, a small alpha/beta protein built around, an antiparallel beta-sheet that forms a homodimer with an extended, interface. In order to characterize the dimer interface, we have, introduced a mutation at position 44, which destabilizes the dimeric form, of the protein. We have shown that this mutation has no effect on the, intrinsic ability of p8/TTD-A to stimulate NER in vitro, but affects the, capacity of p8/TTD-A to restore TFIIH concentration in TTD-A fibroblasts., Point mutations found in TTD-A patients are discussed on the basis of the, present structure.
