Genetic instability can result from increases in DNA damage and/or alterations in DNA repair proteins and can contribute to disease development. Both exogenous and endogenous sources of DNA damage and/or alterations in DNA structure (e.g., non-B DNA) can impact genome stability. Multiple repair mechanisms exist to counteract DNA damage. One key DNA repair protein complex is ERCC1-XPF, a structure-specific endonuclease that participates in a variety of DNA repair processes. ERCC1-XPF is involved in nucleotide excision repair (NER), repair of DNA interstrand crosslinks (ICLs), and DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair via homologous recombination. In addition, ERCC1-XPF contributes to the processing of various alternative (i.e., non-B) DNA structures. This review will focus on the processing of alternative DNA structures by ERCC1-XPF.
基因不稳定可由DNA损伤增加和/或DNA修复蛋白改变引起,并可能促进疾病发展。DNA损伤的外源性和内源性来源以及/或DNA结构改变(例如,非B型DNA)均可影响基因组稳定性。存在多种修复机制来对抗DNA损伤。一种关键的DNA修复蛋白复合物是ERCC1-XPF,它是一种结构特异性核酸内切酶,参与多种DNA修复过程。ERCC1-XPF参与核苷酸切除修复(NER)、DNA链间交联(ICL)修复以及通过同源重组进行的DNA双链断裂(DSB)修复。此外,ERCC1-XPF有助于处理各种替代性(即非B型)DNA结构。本综述将聚焦于ERCC1-XPF对替代性DNA结构的处理。
