Summary
ERCC3 (ERCC excision repair 3, TFIIH core complex helicase subunit, HGNC:3435) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 2q14.3, encoding General transcription and DNA repair factor IIH helicase/translocase subunit XPB (P19447). ATP-dependent 3’-5’ DNA helicase/translocase. It is a common-essential gene (DepMap: required in 98.0% of cancer cell lines).
This gene encodes an ATP-dependent DNA helicase that functions in nucleotide excision repair. The encoded protein is a subunit of basal transcription factor 2 (TFIIH) and, therefore, also functions in class II transcription. Mutations in this gene are associated with Xeroderma pigmentosum B, Cockayne’s syndrome, and trichothiodystrophy. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Function. ATP-dependent 3’-5’ DNA helicase/translocase. Binds dsDNA rather than ssDNA, unzipping it in a translocase rather than classical helicase activity. Component of the general transcription and DNA repair factor IIH (TFIIH) core complex. When complexed to CDK-activating kinase (CAK), involved in RNA transcription by RNA polymerase II. The ATPase activity of XPB/ERCC3, but not its helicase activity, is required for DNA opening; it may wrap around the damaged DNA wedging it open, causing localized melting that allows XPD/ERCC2 helicase to anchor. In transcription, TFIIH has an essential role in transcription initiation. When the pre-initiation complex (PIC) has been established, TFIIH is required for promoter opening and promoter escape. The ATP-dependent helicase activity of XPB/ERCC3 is required for promoter opening and promoter escape. In transcription pre-initiation complexes induces and propagates a DNA twist to open DNA. Also involved in transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair (NER) of damaged DNA. In NER, TFIIH acts by opening DNA around the lesion to allow the excision of the damaged oligonucleotide and its replacement by a new DNA fragment. The structure of the TFIIH transcription complex differs from the NER-TFIIH complex; large movements by XPD/ERCC2 and XPB/ERCC3 are stabilized by XPA. XPA retains XPB/ERCC3 at the 5’ end of a DNA bubble (mimicking DNA damage).
Subunit / interactions. Component of the 7-subunit TFIIH core complex composed of XPB/ERCC3, XPD/ERCC2, GTF2H1, GTF2H2, GTF2H3, GTF2H4 and GTF2H5, which is active in NER. The core complex associates with the 3-subunit CDK-activating kinase (CAK) module composed of CCNH/cyclin H, CDK7 and MNAT1 to form the 10-subunit holoenzyme (holo-TFIIH) active in transcription. Interacts with PUF60. Interacts with ATF7IP. Interacts with KAT2A; leading to KAT2A recruitment to promoters and acetylation of histones. Part of TBP-based Pol II pre-initiation complex (PIC), in which Pol II core assembles with general transcription factors and other specific initiation factors including GTF2E1, GTF2E2, GTF2F1, GTF2F2, TCEA1, ERCC2, ERCC3, GTF2H2, GTF2H3, GTF2H4, GTF2H5, GTF2A1, GTF2A2, GTF2B and TBP; this large multi-subunit PIC complex mediates DNA unwinding and targets Pol II core to the transcription start site where the first phosphodiester bond forms. (Microbial infection) Interacts with Epstein-Barr virus EBNA2.
Subcellular location. Nucleus.
Post-translational modifications. Phosphorylation on Ser-751 by CK2 controls the 5’-excision activity of ERCC1-XPF endonuclease; phosphorylated protein inhibits the excision activity and thus NER. Dephosphorylation reactivates the 5’-excision step. Phosphorylation has no effect on transcription or the 3’-5’ helicase activity.
Disease relevance. Xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group B (XP-B) [MIM:610651] An autosomal recessive pigmentary skin disorder characterized by solar hypersensitivity of the skin, high predisposition for developing cancers on areas exposed to sunlight and, in some cases, neurological abnormalities. The skin develops marked freckling and other pigmentation abnormalities. Some XP-B patients present features of Cockayne syndrome, including cachectic dwarfism, pigmentary retinopathy, ataxia, decreased nerve conduction velocities. The phenotype combining xeroderma pigmentosum and Cockayne syndrome traits is referred to as XP-CS complex. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Trichothiodystrophy 2, photosensitive (TTD2) [MIM:616390] A form of trichothiodystrophy, an autosomal recessive disease characterized by sulfur-deficient brittle hair and multisystem variable abnormalities. The spectrum of clinical features varies from mild disease with only hair involvement to severe disease with cutaneous, neurologic and profound developmental defects. Ichthyosis, intellectual and developmental disabilities, decreased fertility, abnormal characteristics at birth, ocular abnormalities, short stature, and infections are common manifestations. There are both photosensitive and non-photosensitive forms of the disorder. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Activity regulation. Phosphorylation on Ser-751 by CK2 controls the 5’-excision activity of ERCC1-XPF endonuclease; phosphorylated protein inhibits the excision activity and thus NER. ATPase activity is stimulated by TFIIH subunit p52 (GTF2H4). DNA translocase activity by this subunit in TFIIH is stimulated by XPA, ERCC5/XPG and XFP plus ERCC1; translocase activity is sensitive to triptolide which targets this enzyme.
Miscellaneous. The TFIIH core complex from patient XP11BE (a patient with XP/CS who has a C-terminal splice-site frameshift from residue 741 in this protein) reconstitutes in vitro transcription about 30% less well than wild-type but does not restore NER in vitro or in vivo. The XP11BE TFIIH complex has all the subunits in the same stoichiometry as wild-type. Purified mutant protein has very weak 3’-5’ helicase and ATPase activities. In another paper the mutant protein has wild-type 3’-5’ helicase activity. The mutation is recessive to wild-type. XPB/ERCC3 is not phosphorylated in vitro in this mutant, and does not restore transcription in XPB/ERCC3-defective cells. Conventional DNA helicases unwind DNA by binding to a ssDNA overhang of dsDNA and then translocating on this strand with cycles of ATP binding and hydrolysis to ‘unzip’ the dsDNA. XPB/ERCC3 is believed to be an unconventional DNA helicase principally because it translocates in a 3’-5’ direction along dsDNA instead of ssDNA, thus it is referred to as a DNA translocase.
Similarity. Belongs to the helicase family. RAD25/XPB subfamily.

A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
