About This Section

Entrez Gene summary for ERCC8 Gene:

This gene encodes a WD repeat protein, which interacts with Cockayne syndrome type B (CSB) protein and with p44

protein, a subunit of the RNA polymerase II transcription factor IIH. Mutations in this gene have been identified

in patients with hereditary disease Cockayne syndrome (CS). CS cells are abnormally sensitive to ultraviolet

radiation and are defective in the repair of transcriptionally active genes. (provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008)

GeneCards Summary for ERCC8 Gene:

ERCC8 (excision repair cross-complementing rodent repair deficiency, complementation group 8) is a protein-coding gene. Diseases associated with ERCC8 include cockayne syndrome, and ercc8-related cockayne syndrome, and among its related super-pathways are Nucleotide Excision Repair and RNA Pol II CTD phosphorylation and interaction with CE. GO annotations related to this gene include ubiquitin-protein ligase activity and DNA-dependent ATPase activity.

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: ERCC8_HUMAN, Q13216

Function: Substrate-recognition component of the CSA complex, a DCX (DDB1-CUL4-X-box) E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase

complex, involved in transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair. The CSA complex (DCX(ERCC8) complex)

promotes the ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of ERCC6 in a UV-dependent manner; ERCC6

degradation is essential for the recovery of RNA synthesis after transcription-coupled repair. It is required for

the recruitment of XAB2, HMGN1 and TCEA1/TFIIS to a transcription-coupled repair complex which removes RNA

polymerase II-blocking lesions from the transcribed strand of active genes

Cockayne syndrome A (CSA) [MIM:216400]: A rare disorder characterized by cutaneous sensitivity to

sunlight, abnormal and slow growth, cachectic dwarfism, progeroid appearance, progressive pigmentary retinopathy

and sensorineural deafness. There is delayed neural development and severe progressive neurologic degeneration

resulting in mental retardation. Two clinical forms are recognized: in the classical form or Cockayne syndrome

type 1, the symptoms are progressive and typically become apparent within the first few years or life; the less

common Cockayne syndrome type 2 is characterized by more severe symptoms that manifest prenatally. Cockayne

syndrome shows some overlap with certain forms of xeroderma pigmentosum. Unlike xeroderma pigmentosum, patients

with Cockayne syndrome do not manifest increased freckling and other pigmentation abnormalities in the skin and

have no significant increase in skin cancer. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene

represented in this entry

UV-sensitive syndrome 2 (UVSS2) [MIM:614621]: An autosomal recessive disorder characterized by cutaneous

photosensitivity and mild freckling in the absence of neurological abnormalities or skin tumors. Note=The disease

is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry
