Nucleotide Excision Repair Gene ERCC2 and ERCC5 Variants Increase Risk of Uterine Cervical Cancer
PURPOSE Defects in the DNA damage repair process can cause genomic instability and play an important role in cervical carcinogenesis. The purpose of this study was to analyze the association of 29 candidate single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes in the DNA repair pathway, TP53, and TP53BP1 with the risk of cervical cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-nine SNPs in four genes in the D...
متن کاملIsolation of a functional human interleukin 2 gene from a cosmid library by recombination in vivo.
A method has been developed that allows the isolation of genomic clones from a cosmid library by homologous recombination in vivo. This method was used to isolate a human genomic interleukin 2 (IL2) gene. The genomic cosmid library was packaged in vivo into lambda phage particles. A recombination-proficient host strain carrying IL2 cDNA sequences in a non-homologous plasmid vector was infected ...
متن کاملIsolation of human complexes proficient in nucleotide excision repair.
More than 20 polypeptides are required for the process of nucleotide excision repair (NER) in both human and yeast cells. This pathway of excision repair has most often been viewed as an ordered multi-step process involving steps of damage recognition, incision/excision and finally repair DNA synthesis. Here we present evidence for the existence of a complex of human NER proteins pre-assembled ...
متن کاملIsolation of novel human and mouse genes of the recA/RAD51 recombination-repair gene family.
Genes from the recA/RAD51 family play essential roles in homologous recombination in all organisms. Using sequence homologies from eukaryotic members of this family we have identified fragments of two additional mammalian genes with homology to RAD51. Cloning the full-length cDNAs for both human and mouse genes showed that the sequences are highly conserved, and that the predicted proteins have...
متن کاملMolecular cloning of the human nucleotide-excision-repair gene ERCC4.
ERCC4 was previously identified in somatic cell hybrids as a human gene that corrects the nucleotide-excision-repair deficiency in mutant hamster cells. The cloning strategy for ERCC4 involved transfection of the repair-deficient hamster cell line UV41 with a human sCos-1 cosmid library derived from chromosome 16. Enhanced UV resistance was seen with one cosmid-library transformant and two seco...
