Nucleotide excision repair (NER) is a central DNA repair pathway responsible for removing a wide variety of DNA-distorting lesions from the genome. The highly choreographed cascade of core NER reactions requires more than 30 polypeptides. The xeroderma pigmentosum group A (XPA) protein plays an essential role in the NER process.

Vaccinia virus (VV), the prototypic poxvirus, encodes a repertoire of proteins responsible for the metabolism of its large dsDNA genome. Previous work has furthered our understanding of how poxviruses replicate and recombine their genomes, but little is known about whether the poxvirus genome undergoes DNA repair. Our studies here are aimed at understanding how VV responds to exogenous DNA damage introduced by UV irradiation.

ERCC1-XPF is a multifunctional endonuclease involved in nucleotide excision repair (NER), interstrand cross-link (ICL) repair, and DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair. Only two patients with bi-allelic ERCC1 mutations have been reported, both of whom had features of Cockayne syndrome and died in infancy. Here, we describe two siblings with bi-allelic ERCC1 mutations in their teenage years.
