Cockayne syndrome B protein regulates the transcriptional program after UV irradiation.
The phenotype of the human genetic disorder Cockayne syndrome (CS) is not only due to DNA repair defect but also (and perhaps essentially) to a severe transcription initiation defect. After UV irradiation, even undamaged genes are not transcribed in CSB cells. Indeed, neither RNA pol II nor the associated basal transcription factors are recruited to the promoters of the housekeeping genes, arou...
متن کاملHuman Cockayne syndrome B protein reciprocally communicates with mitochondrial proteins and promotes transcriptional elongation
Cockayne syndrome (CS) is a rare human disorder characterized by pathologies of premature aging, neurological abnormalities, sensorineural hearing loss and cachectic dwarfism. With recent data identifying CS proteins as physical components of mitochondria, we sought to identify protein partners and roles for Cockayne syndrome group B (CSB) protein in this organelle. CSB was found to physically ...
متن کاملThe role of Cockayne Syndrome Protein B in transcription regulation
We investigated the question if CSB (Cockayne Syndrome complementation B) protein actively regulates gene transcription and how mutations in CSB gene affect that regulatory role. Here we describe how we processed and interpreted ChIP-seq data (deposited in Gene Expression Omnibus with accession number GSE50171) obtained during an investigation of that question, and how this analysis assisted in...
متن کاملCockayne Syndrome group B protein interacts with TRF2 and regulates telomere length and stability
The majority of Cockayne syndrome (CS) patients carry a mutation in Cockayne Syndrome group B (CSB), a large nuclear protein implicated in DNA repair, transcription and chromatin remodeling. However, whether CSB may play a role in telomere metabolism has not yet been characterized. Here, we report that CSB physically interacts with TRF2, a duplex telomeric DNA binding protein essential for telo...
متن کاملCockayne syndrome group B protein regulates DNA double-strand break repair and checkpoint activation.
Mutations of CSB account for the majority of Cockayne syndrome (CS), a devastating hereditary disorder characterized by physical impairment, neurological degeneration and segmental premature aging. Here we report the generation of a human CSB-knockout cell line. We find that CSB facilitates HR and represses NHEJ. Loss of CSB or a CS-associated CSB mutation abrogating its ATPase activity impairs...
