The Chinese hamsterERCC2nucleotide excision repair gene, encoding a presumed ATP-dependent DNA helicase, was cloned from the V79 cell line, and its nucleotide sequence was determined. The ∼15-kb gene comprises 23 exons witb a 2283-base open reading frame. The predicted 760-amino-acid protein is 98% identical to the human ERCC2/XPD (760 amino acids), 51% identical to theSaccharomyces cerevisiaeRAD3 (778 amino acids), and 54% identical to theSchizosaccharomyces pomberad15 (772 amino acids) proteins. The promoter region of the hamsterERCC2gene contains a pyrimidine-rich stretch (42 nucleotides, 88% C+T) similar to sequences found in the promoter regions of two other nucleotide excision repair genes, a GC box, a putative α-Pal transcription factor binding site, and two CAAT boxes. There is no apparent TAATA box. No consensus polyadenylation sequence (AATAAA or its variants) was found within 663 bases 3′ of the translation termination codon.
