gene geneOn this page
Summary
UVSSA (UV stimulated scaffold protein A, HGNC:29304) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 4p16.3, encoding UV-stimulated scaffold protein A (Q2YD98). Factor involved in transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair (TC-NER), a mechanism that rapidly removes RNA polymerase II-blocking lesions from the transcribed strand of active genes.
The protein encoded by this gene appears to be involved in ubiquitination and dephosphorylation of RNA polymerase II subunits that stall after UV irradiation. The encoded protein interacts with several members of the nucleotide excision repair complex, and is thought to be involved in the transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair (TC-NER) pathway to help remove lesions in the DNA that block transcription. Defects in this gene can cause UV-sensitive syndrome 3. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Function. Factor involved in transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair (TC-NER), a mechanism that rapidly removes RNA polymerase II-blocking lesions from the transcribed strand of active genes. Acts as a key adapter that promotes recruitment of factors involved in TC-NER. Facilitates the ubiquitination of the elongating form of RNA polymerase II (RNA pol IIo) at DNA damage sites, thereby promoting RNA pol IIo backtracking and access by the TC-NER machinery to lesion sites. Also promotes stabilization of ERCC6/CSB by recruiting deubiquitinating enzyme USP7 to TC-NER complexes, preventing UV-induced degradation of ERCC6 by the proteasome. Mediates the recruitment of the TFIIH complex and other factors that are required for nucleotide excision repair to RNA polymerase II. Also required to inactivate stalled RNA polymerase II by blocking the access of TCEA1/TFIIS, thereby preventing reactivation of RNA polymerase II. Not involved in processing oxidative damage.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts with the elongating form of RNA polymerase II (RNA pol IIo) during transcription stress. Interacts with the TFIIH complex during transcription stress. Interacts with ERCC6. Interacts with ERCC8. Interacts with USP7.
Subcellular location. Chromosome.
Post-translational modifications. Monoubiquitinated at Lys-414 in response to transcription stress; this promotes efficient transfer of TFIIH to stalled RNA polymerase II.
Disease relevance. UV-sensitive syndrome 3 (UVSS3) [MIM:614640] An autosomal recessive disorder characterized by cutaneous photosensitivity and slight dyspigmentation, without an increased risk of skin tumors. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Similarity. Belongs to the UVSSA family.
