Nucleotide excision repair (NER) is a versatile DNA repair system. SiRNA-screening and next generation DNA sequencing were performed to identify novel NER factors. We found that the UVSSA gene (formerly known as KIAA1530) is involved in the transcription-coupled nucleotide-excision repair (TC-NER). The UVSSA protein interacts with TC-NER machinery and facilitates ubiquitination of RNA polymerase IIo stalled at DNA damage sites.
