title: A new twist to the tale? Apoptosis.
abstract: The DNA helicases XPB and XPD, components of transcription factor TFIIH, have been implicated in a p53-induced apoptotic pathway. These new findings suggest a role for the core TFIIH complex in the coordination, not only of transcription, the cell cycle and DNA repair, but also of apoptosis.
