Rad4 recognizes the local destabilization of the DNA duplex, which is common to many structurally unrelated DNA lesions, and thus explains the ability of Rad4 and XPC to detect a myriad of lesions.

Describes the identification of the first patient found to carry a mutation in the gene encoding XPF, which causes prominent symptoms of premature ageing; a corresponding mouse Ercc1 mutant exhibits a very similar progeroid phenotype. Expression profiling of mouse tissues reveals that Ercc1 mutant mice also have suppressed growth and upregulated cellular defences resembling the response to caloric restriction, which promotes longevity. These features are presumably an attempt to counteract the accelerated ageing.

Shows, together with reference 174, that exonuclease 1 (EXO1)-mediated processing of NER intermediates generates large ssDNA gaps. Demonstrates further that intermediates produced during processing of NER lesions, rather than the lesions themselves, stimulate checkpoint signalling.
