Function

ATP-dependent 5'-3' DNA helicase (PubMed:31253769, PubMed:8413672, PubMed:9771713). Component of the general transcription and DNA repair factor IIH (TFIIH) core complex, not absolutely essential for minimal transcription in vitro (PubMed:10024882, PubMed:17466626, PubMed:9771713). Required for transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair (NER) of damaged DNA; recognizes damaged bases (PubMed:17466626, PubMed:23352696, PubMed:9771713). Sequestered in chromatin on UV-damaged DNA (PubMed:23352696). When complexed to CDK-activating kinase (CAK), involved in transcription by RNA polymerase II. In NER, TFIIH acts by opening DNA around the lesion to allow the excision of the damaged oligonucleotide and its replacement by a new DNA fragment. The ATP-dependent helicase activity of XPD/ERCC2 is required for DNA opening. Involved in DNA lesion verification (PubMed:31253769). In transcription, TFIIH has an essential role in transcription initiation. When the pre-initiation complex (PIC) has been established, TFIIH is required for promoter opening and promoter escape. Phosphorylation of the C-terminal tail (CTD) of the largest subunit of RNA polymerase II by the kinase module CAK controls the initiation of transcription. XPD/ERCC2 acts by forming a bridge between CAK and the core-TFIIH complex. The structure of the TFIIH transcription complex differs from the NER-TFIIH complex; large movements by XPD/ERCC2 and XPB/ERCC3 are stabilized by XPA which allow this subunit to contact ssDNA (PubMed:31253769, PubMed:33902107). Involved in the regulation of vitamin-D receptor activity. As part of the mitotic spindle-associated MMXD complex it plays a role in chromosome segregation. Might have a role in aging process and could play a causative role in the generation of skin cancers.

Activity summary

XPD also known as ERCC2 is an essential helicase enzyme belonging to the family of ATP-dependent DNA helicases. It consists of approximately 761 amino acids and has a mass of around 87 kDa. XPD functions mechanically by unwinding double-stranded DNA which is important for various DNA repair processes. This protein is expressed ubiquitously in human tissues highlighting its critical role in maintaining genomic integrity.

Biological function summary

XPD catalyzes the unwinding of DNA within the transcription factor IIH (TFIIH) complex. This complex facilitates DNA repair and transcription initiation. XPD participates in the nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathway where it contributes to repairing damaged DNA by excising damaged nucleotides. Its role in transcription-coupled repair and general transcription initiation underlines its importance in cellular homeostasis.

Pathways

DNA repair and general transcription processes are significantly affected by XPD. It plays an integral role in nucleotide excision repair (NER) and transcription. Within these pathways XPD works closely with other proteins such as XPA which assists in damage verification and incision near DNA lesions. XPD's unwinding function is essential for the correct orientation of DNA during transcription and repair events ensuring accurate gene expression and stability.

Associated diseases and disorders

XPD mutations link to xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) and trichothiodystrophy (TTD). These conditions often result in increased sensitivity to ultraviolet (UV) radiation and various developmental abnormalities. XPD mutations impair the repair of UV-induced DNA damage causing symptoms in both XP and TTD. XPD also connects with ERCC1 a protein important for repair synthesis and DNA incision highlighting its broad impact on human health when its function is compromised.
