UV-sensitive syndrome (UVSS) is characterised by sun-sensitivity without any devastating symptoms. Despite mild clinical manifestations, UVSS-patient cells display complete-null phenotype in transcription-coupled nucleotide-excision repair (TC-NER) activity. Our laboratory identified UVSS pathogenic mutations in the KIAA1530 / UVSSA gene. The UVSSA protein facilitates stable-ubiquitination of RNA polymerase stalled at UV-DNA damage. This stable-ubiquitination is compromised in UVSS-patient cells although RNA polymerase is degraded under a different ubiquitination mechanism.
