NCBI Protein Information
nucleotide repair protein
NCBI Summary
encodes a homolog of human ERCC1 protein (yeast RAD10), which is a DNA repair endonuclease. Mutants are sensitive to UV-B and gamma radiation (G2 cell cycle phase arrest) and are defective in dark-repair of pyrimidine pyrimidone dimers. This protein incises the 5' end of damaged DNA, similar to ERCC1/RAD10.

UniProt Comments
Seems to be involved in nucleotide excision repair (NER) of damaged DNA (dark repair mechanism). The UVH1/RAD1-ERCC1/RAD10 complex may act as an endonuclease making DNA incision 5' to the lesion site. In vitro, is implicated in double strand breaks (DSBs) repair and is required for homologous recombination in the presence of non-homologous overhangs. In vitro, is involved in chromosomal recombination between tandem repeats in both direct and inverted orientations. May mediate the induction of a DNA-damage sensitive cell-cycle checkpoint during the G2 phase.
