Summaries for ERCC8 Gene

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. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2014]

GeneCards Summary for ERCC8 Gene

ERCC8 (Excision Repair Cross-Complementation Group 8) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with ERCC8 include Uv-Sensitive Syndrome 2 and Cockayne Syndrome, Type A. Among its related pathways are Transcription-Coupled Nucleotide Excision Repair (TC-NER) and Antigen processing- Ubiquitination and Proteasome degradation. GO annotations related to this gene include ubiquitin-protein transferase activity and DNA-dependent ATPase activity.

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot for ERCC8 Gene

  • 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.

ERCC8_HUMAN
  • 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. {ECO:0000269 PubMed:14661080, ECO:0000269 PubMed:15744458, ECO:0000269 PubMed:19894250}. 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. {ECO:0000269 PubMed:19329487}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
