We have measured the removal of UV-induced pyrimidine dimers from DNA fragments of the adenosine deaminase (ADA) and dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) genes in primary normal human and xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group C (XP-C) cells.

However, transfection of CKII-beta cDNA could also partially complement the UV-sensitivity of a xeroderma pigmentosum cell line belonging to group C (XP-C).
We have measured removal of pyrimidine dimers in defined DNA sequences in confluent and actively growing normal human and xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group C (XP-C) fibroblasts exposed to 10 J/m2 UV-irradiation.
The limited DNA-excision repair in UV-irradiated nondividing fibroblasts from xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group C (XP-C) occurs in localized chromatin regions generating large DNA segments (at least 30-70 kb) free of pyrimidine dimers.
A simian virus 40 (SV40) DNA fragment, encompassing the whole early region but having a defective origin of DNA replication, was previously used to transform human fibroblast cells derived from a patient suffering from xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group C (XP-C).
Primary xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group C (XP-C) cells, whether proliferating or nondividing, removed no CPD from either rDNA strand in 24 h post-UV, a result which supports earlier conclusions that XP-C cells lack the general, transcription-independent pathway of nucleotide excision repair.
The limited DNA excision repair in UV-irradiated fibroblasts from xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group C (XP-C) occurs in selected chromatin regions.
We have studied the effect of caffeine on gene- and strand-specific DNA repair after exposure of Chinese hamster ovary cells and human xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group C (XPC) cells to ultraviolet irradiation (UV).
Significant homology of the C-terminal 346 amino acids with both the human XPC and Saccharomyces cerevisiae Rad4 protein sequences is observed, suggesting that these proteins are functional homologs.
Selective repair of the transcribed DNA strand of p53 is observed in both human cell strains; the strand bias of repair is particularly distinct in XP-C. Mutations specific to the nontranscribed strand may occur due to replication errors at the sites of unrepaired DNA damage.
The human p53 gene is repaired in UV (254 nm)-irradiated xeroderma pigmentosum group C (XP-C) cells as part of a large genomic region that is about twice the size of the gene.
We showed that DNA-dependent ATPase Q1 (DNA helicase Q1) from xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group C (XP-C) cells elutes from FPLC Mono Q column at higher concentrations of KCl than that from other human cells (35).

hHR23B was originally isolated as a component of a protein complex that specifically complements nucleotide excision repair (NER) defects of xeroderma pigmentosum group C cell extracts in vitro and was identified as one of two human homologs of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae NER gene product Rad23.
