Description | This domain is found in the N-terminal region of xeroderma pigmentosum group B (XPB) helicase present in Archaeoglobus fulgidus. XPB is essential for transcription, nucleotide excision repair, and TFIIH functional assembly. The domain is a damage recognition domain (DRD) which allows XPB to unwind damaged DNA as needed for nucleotide excision repair [ ]. | Name | Xeroderma pigmentosum group B helicase, damage recognition domain |
