| Abstract | After exposure to DNA-damaging agents, the p53 tumor suppressor protects against neoplastic transformation by inducing growth arrest and apoptosis. A series of investigations has also demonstrated that, in UV-exposed cells, p53 regulates the removal of DNA photoproducts from the genome overall (global nucleotide excision repair), but does not participate in an overlapping pathway that removes damage specifically from the transcribed strand of active genes (transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair). Here, the highly sensitive ligation-mediated PCR was employed to quantify, at nucleotide resolution, the repair of UVB-induced cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) in genetically p53-deficient Li–Fraumeni skin fibroblasts, as well as in human lung fibroblasts expressing the human papillomavirus (HPV) E6 oncoprotein that functionally inactivates p53. Lung fibroblasts expressing the HPV E7 gene product, which similarly inactivates the retinoblastoma tumor-suppressor protein (pRb), were also investigated. pRb acts downstream of p53 to mediate G1 arrest, but has no demonstrated role in DNA repair. Relative to normal cells, HPV E6-expressing lung fibroblasts and Li–Fraumeni skin fibroblasts each manifested defective CPD repair along both the transcribed and nontranscribed strands of the p53 and/or c-jun loci. HPV E7-expressing lung fibroblasts also exhibited reduced CPD removal, but only along the nontranscribed strand. Our results provide striking evidence that transcription-coupled repair, in addition to global repair, are p53-dependent in UV-exposed human fibroblasts. Moreover, the observed DNA-repair defect in HPV E7-expressing cells reveals a function for this oncoprotein in HPV-mediated carcinogenesis, and may suggest a role for pRb in global nucleotide excision repair. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
