dc.description.abstractXeroderma pigmentosum factor D (XPD) is a 5'-3' superfamily 2 helicase and the founding member of a family of DNA helicases with iron-sulphur cluster domains. As a component of transcription factor II H (TFIIH), XPD is involved in DNA unwinding during nucleotide excision repair (NER). Archaeal XPD is closely related in sequence to the eukaryal enzyme and the crystal structure of the archaeal enzyme has provided a molecular understanding of mutations causing xeroderma pigmentosum and trichothiodystrophy in humans. Consistent with a role in NER, we show that archaeal XPD can initiate unwinding from a DNA bubble structure, differentiating it from the related helicases FancJ and DinG. XPD was not stalled by substrates containing extrahelical fluorescein adducts, abasic sites nor a cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer, regardless of whether these modifications were placed on either the displaced or translocated strands. This suggests that DNA lesions repaired by NER may not present a barrier to XPD translocation in vivo, in contrast to some predictions. Preferential binding of a fluorescein-adducted oligonucleotide was observed, and XPD helicase activity was readily inhibited by both single- and double-stranded DNA binding proteins. These observations have several implications for the current understanding of the NER pathway.
