Binding activity of replication protein A to UV-damaged single-stranded DNA.

???displayArticle.abstract???
To obtain the information for the exact role of replication protein A (RPA) on both eukaryotic DNA replication and repair, the binding preference of RPA purified from Xenopus egg extract against the undamaged and UV-damaged single-stranded DNA was studied by the gel shift assay. Chemically synthesized oligonucleotide containing the pyrimidine(6-4)pyrimidone photoproduct at one site was used as a model of UV-damaged DNA. Results of competition assay and Scatchard plots indicate that RPA preferentially binds to the 6-4 photoproduct oligonucleotide than the undamaged DNA.
