The authors demonstrate, by using an in vitro NER assay, that defective NER in rad3 mutant yeast extracts is complemented by purified factor b (TFIIH in yeast) but not Rad3 protein alone. This observation supports the notion that Rad3 is present in a tight complex within TFIIH. Furthermore, the results support a direct role of TFIIH during NER.

Cell 1995, 80:21-28. Exhaustive biochemistry was used here to establish that TFIIH is required for both transcription and repair. This paper has strengthened the proposal that, in vivo, different TFIIH complexes exist which have specific roles.

Cell 1995, 80:859-868. The authors purify nearly all of the components required for NER from human cell extracts. The repair activity is then reconstituted by the addition of all the factors. A novel partially purified factor, called IF7, is required for NER; the authors discuss the possible identity of this factor.

By means of Western blot analysis and purification, p33 is identified here as the catalytic subunit of TFIIK and as a product of the KIN28 gene. Additional experiments demonstrate a direct interaction between Kin28 and the two largest subunits of RNA polymerase II, RPB1 and RPB2.

Cell 1994, 79:1093-1101. The previously cloned human MO15 protein kinase is associated with TFIIH and is responsible for its carboxy-terminal domain kinase activity. Evidence suggests that MO15 is the catalytic subunit of the TFIIH-associated kinase. It is shown that TFIIH possesses CAK activity in vitro.

Nature 1995, 374:283-287. Purified TFIIH was found to contain MO15 (CDK7) and cyclin H. Furthermore, TFIIH was shown to phosphorylate both Cdc2 and Cdk2, suggestive of a link between cell cycle regulation and transcription.

By means of DNA templates attached to solid supports, a template competition assay, and Western blot analysis, the authors deduce that TFIIH is released after the transcription complex reaches the +30 nucleotide site, and, therefore, that TFIIH is not present during most of the transcription elongation process. This finding has dramatic implications for the various proposals that deal with the availability of TFIIH for repair. The authors also study other transcription factors, such as TFIIE in terms of its release during transcription.

Cell 1995, 82:555-564. The authors here report the cloning of the human CSA gene. The cDNA of this gene corrects the UV sensitivity and chloramphenicol acetyltransferase reactivation ability of CS-A cells. This predicted protein of 396 amino acids is a member of the WD-repeat protein family. In vitro translated CSA was demonstrated to interact with CSB and p44, a subunit of TFIIH, by immunoprecipitation experiments. The authors suggest that the finding that CSA interacts with p44 implicates a role for CSA in transcription and further discuss the possible molecular mechanisms in human diseases.

Analysis of all the known members of the WD-repeat protein family provides information as to the possible function of these proteins. The authors propose a consensus motif and specific rules that may govern whether a protein is a member of this family.

EMBO J 1994, 13:5361-5369. Analysis of the yeast rad26 null mutant demonstrates lack of UV sensitivity but presence of a strand-specific repair defect. This phenotype remains a paradox when compared to the CS patient cells and the authors suggest that isolation of a yeast homologue to CSA may be informative.
