The TFIIH helicase XPB is the enzyme in the nucleus of eukaryotes that, as part of the transcription factor IIH (TFIIH), catalyzes the opening of the DNA double strand after the pre-initiation complex has been assembled. This reaction step is part of the initiation of the transcription of all eukaryotic genes . In addition, XPB plays a very similar role in DNA repair . Mutations in the human ERCC3 gene, which codes for XPB , can lead to the rare hereditary disease Xeroderma pigmentosum type B, in which the risk of skin cancer is 2000 times higher, or to Tay syndrome , a rare ichthyosis .
The opening of the double strand consumes a molecule of ATP and spans the bases from −10 to +2 with respect to the beginning of the gene. It is supported by untwisting the DNA (so-called negative supercoiling ) with the help of TFIIE . The XPD helicase also takes part in DNA repair . The opened DNA is called a DNA bubble in both cases .
A protein orthologous to XPB has been found in archaea . Like the eukaryotic one, the XPB found has no helicase activity in vitro . The protein is believed to have a role in DNA repair.
XPB and XPD mimick part of the cell's defense against retroviral infection, a laboratory study. A Chinese study found that a combination of certain XPB and XPD variants increased the risk of lung cancer .
