Supplementary information

ERCC8 also known as CSA protein plays an essential role in the repair of transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair (TC-NER) pathways. This protein has a mass of about 44 kDa. Expression of ERCC8 is found in several tissues notably in the skin liver and nervous system. It helps in recognizing and repairing DNA damage that occurs during transcription.
Biological function summary

ERCC8 forms a part of the CSA complex which includes other proteins involved in the TC-NER pathway. The CSA complex targets the repair machinery to the site of transcription-blocking lesions. Identifying these lesions is critical to resuming normal transcription processes. The CSA protein therefore actively contributes to maintaining genomic stability by facilitating the correction of transcription-coupled DNA damage.

Pathways

ERCC8 participates directly in the nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathway specifically in its transcription-coupled repair subprocess. This pathway is integral to correcting helix-distorting DNA lesions that impede transcription. ERCC8 interacts closely with the Cockayne syndrome B (CSB) protein and RNA polymerase II during the repair process. This collaboration is important in modulating the restart of transcription post-repair.

Mutations in ERCC8 lead to Cockayne syndrome (CS) characterized by growth defects neurological dysfunction and photosensitivity. ERCC8 alterations are linked primarily to Cockayne syndrome group A. The protein is also involved in repair mechanisms tied to UV-sensitive syndrome. In both conditions faulty ERCC8 function can disrupt normal DNA repair processes leading to severe clinical manifestations associated with DNA repair failure. The role of CSA alongside CSB mutations further highlights its importance in disease phenotypes and the need for effective DNA repair.

Target data

Substrate-recognition component of the CSA complex, a DCX (DDB1-CUL4-X-box) E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex, involved in transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair (TC-NER), a process during which RNA polymerase II-blocking lesions are rapidly removed from the transcribed strand of active genes (PubMed : 12732143, PubMed : 16751180, PubMed : 16964240, PubMed : 32142649, PubMed : 34526721, PubMed : 38316879, PubMed : 38600235, PubMed : 38600236). Following recruitment to lesion-stalled RNA polymerase II (Pol II), the CSA complex mediates ubiquitination of Pol II subunit POLR2A/RPB1 at 'Lys-1268', a critical TC-NER checkpoint, governing RNA Pol II stability and initiating DNA damage excision by TFIIH recruitment (PubMed : 12732143, PubMed : 16751180, PubMed : 16964240, PubMed : 32142649, PubMed : 32355176, PubMed : 34526721, PubMed : 38316879, PubMed : 38600235, PubMed : 38600236). The CSA complex also promotes the ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of ERCC6/CSB in a UV-dependent manner; ERCC6 degradation is essential for the recovery of RNA synthesis after transcription-coupled repair (PubMed : 16751180). Also plays a role in DNA double-strand breaks (DSSBs) repair by non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) (PubMed : 29545921).
