Dimerization of Human XPA and Formation of XPA2−RPA Protein Complex
Open accessAbstract
XPA plays an important role in the DNA damage recognition during human nucleotide excision repair. Here we report that the XPA is a homodimer either in the free state or as a complex with human RPA in solution under normal conditions. The human XPA protein purified from baculovirus-infected sf21 insect cells has a molecular mass of 36 317 Da, as determined by mass spectroscopy. However, the apparent molecular mass of XPA determined by the native gel filtration chromatography was about 71 kDa, suggesting that XPA is a dimer. This observation was supported by a native PFO-PAGE and fluorescence spectroscopy analysis. XPA formed a dimer (XPA2) in a broad range of XPA and NaCl concentrations, and the dimerization was not due to the disulfide bond formation. Furthermore, a titration analysis of the binding of XPA to the human RPA indicated that it was the XPA2 that formed the complex with RPA. Finally, the difference between the mass spectrometric and the calculated masses of XPA implies that the protein contains posttranslational modifications. Taken together, our data suggest that the dimerization of XPA may play an important role in the DNA damage recognition of nucleotide excision repair.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?
XPA, probably as a dimer, participates in DNA damage recognition and recruits other NER factors such as RPA, XPAG, and XPF/ERCC1 to the damage site to form dual incision complexes.
“XPA, likely in dimer (36), is involved in DNA damage recognition and also in the recruitment of other NER factors, such as RPA, XPAG, and XPF/ ERCC1, to the DNA damage site to form dual incision complexes through protein-protein interactions (8,10).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
