In addition to ERCC6 (CSB) and the ERCC8 (CSA) ubiquitin ligase complex, several other proteins and protein complexes are loaded onto stalled RNA polymerase II (RNA Pol II) at DNA damage sites to form a pre-incision complex that operates in the transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair (TC-NER).
XPA, which also participates in global genome nucleotide excision repair (GG-NER), is necessary for the progression of TC-NER (Furuta et al. 2002). XPA interacts with the GTF2H5 subunit of the TFIIH complex (Ziani et al. 2014). In GG-NER, XPA loading is accompanied by the release of the CAK subcomplex from TFIIH (Coin et al. 2008), but in TC-NER the CAK complex remains bound to the TC-NER site (Mourgues et al. 2013).
XAB2 protein exists in the complex with five other proteins, AQR, PRPF19, ZNF830, ISY1 and PPIE. The XAB2 complex, which is also involved in pre-mRNA splicing, loads onto stalled RNA Pol II site (Kuraoka et al. 2008) through the interaction of XAB2 with RNA Pol II, ERCC6, ERCC8 and XPA (Nakatsu et al. 2000). The AQR (aquarius) subunit of the XAB2 complex is an RNA-DNA helicase that processes R-loops. An R-loop is a structure formed by hybridization of a nascent mRNA with a DNA template. In the absence of AQR, TC-NER machinery processes R-loops into double strand breaks (Sollier et al. 2014).
TCEA1 (TFIIS) is a transcription elongation factor that facilitates partial digestion of the 3' protruding end of the nascent transcript by a stalled RNA Pol II, which is generated during the reverse translocation of RNA Pol II from the damage site, and allows the resumption of RNA synthesis once the DNA damage is removed (Donahue et al. 1994).
HMGN1, a non-histone high mobility group N nucleosome-binding protein, was reported to facilitate TC-NER probably by increasing accessibility of damaged DNA to repair machinery (Birger et al. 2003), but another study found that HMGN1 was not essential for human TC-NER (Apelt et al. 2020).
UVSSA protein forms a complex with ubiquitin protease USP7. It is recruited to TC-NER sites via interaction with ubiquitinated RNA Pol II and ERCC6. The UVSSA:USP7 complex stabilizes ERCC6, preventing its proteasome-mediated degradation prior to TC-NER completion, and may de-ubiquitinate RNA Pol II after TC-NER is completed, to allow resumption of RNA synthesis (Nakazawa et al. 2012, Schwertman et al. 2012, Zhang et al. 2012, Fei and Chen 2012).
