Does the p53 up-regulated Gadd45 protein have a role in excision repair?

Article Abstract:

Excision repair in DNA could not be stimulated by Gadd45 protein. This result indicates that Gadd45 does not have any effect on the activity of human excision nuclease or on the repair synthesis step of human nucleotide excision repair.

No "end of history" for photolyases

Article Abstract:

Photoreactivation is the mechanism through which cells repair UV damage. The mechanism involves the enzyme photolyase. Now scientists have discovered a new photolyase specific for (6-4) photoproduct in Drosophila.
