XPE binding factor (XPE-BF) is deficient in a subset of patients from xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group E. Binding activity copurifies with a 125 kDa polypeptide (p125) that binds to DNA damaged by ultraviolet (UV) radiation and many other agents. We isolated cDNA encoding a polypeptide with a predicted amino acid sequence that matched the sequences of eleven tryptic peptides derived from digestion of XPE-BF purified from human placenta. In vitro transcription and translation of the cDNA yielded a polypeptide of 125 kDa that bound specifically to UV-damaged DNA. Therefore the cDNA encodes either all or the major component of XPE-BF.
着色性干皮病E互补组的一部分患者缺乏XPE结合因子(XPE-BF)。其结合活性与一种125 kDa的多肽(p125)共同纯化,该多肽可与紫外线(UV)辐射及许多其他因素损伤的DNA结合。我们分离出了编码一种多肽的cDNA,其预测的氨基酸序列与源自从人胎盘中纯化的XPE-BF消化产物的11个胰蛋白酶肽段的序列相匹配。该cDNA的体外转录和翻译产生了一种125 kDa的多肽,它能特异性地结合紫外线损伤的DNA。因此,该cDNA编码XPE-BF的全部或主要成分。
