title: Human XPA and XRCC1 DNA repair proteins expressed in yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
abstract: Human XPA and XRCC1 DNA repair proteins have been expressed in a series of novel yeast episomal vectors. Expression of XPA cDNA resulted in synthesis of anti-XPA crossreacting polypeptides of 40 and 42 kDa, the status of the native protein found in human cells. Likewise, the majority of the recombinant XRCC1 found in the yeast intracellular fraction corresponded to the molecular mass of the full-length human protein. Recombinant XPA protein expressed as an NH(2)-terminal polyhistidine fusion could be affinity purified using Ni(2+) agarose.
