FUNCTION Essential factor involved in transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair (TC-NER), a process during which RNA polymerase II-blocking lesions are rapidly removed from the transcribed strand of active genes (PubMed:16246722, PubMed:20541997, PubMed:22483866, PubMed:26620705, PubMed:32355176, PubMed:34526721, PubMed:38316879, PubMed:38600235, PubMed:38600236). Plays a central role in the initiation of the TC-NER process: specifically recognizes and binds RNA polymerase II stalled at a lesion, and mediates recruitment of ERCC8/CSA, initiating DNA damage excision by TFIIH recruitment (PubMed:32355176, PubMed:34526721, PubMed:38600235, PubMed:38600236). Upon DNA-binding, it locally modifies DNA conformation by wrapping the DNA around itself, thereby modifying the interface between stalled RNA polymerase II and DNA (PubMed:15548521). Acts as a chromatin remodeler at DSBs; DNA-dependent ATPase-dependent activity is essential for this function (PubMed:16246722, PubMed:9565609). Plays an important role in regulating the choice of the DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) repair pathway and G2/M checkpoint activation; DNA-dependent ATPase activity is essential for this function (PubMed:25820262). Regulates the DNA repair pathway choice by inhibiting non-homologous end joining (NHEJ), thereby promoting the homologous recombination (HR)-mediated repair of DSBs during the S/G2 phases of the cell cycle (PubMed:25820262). Mediates the activation of the ATM- and CHEK2-dependent DNA damage responses thus preventing premature entry of cells into mitosis following the induction of DNA DSBs (PubMed:25820262). Remodels chromatin by evicting histones from chromatin flanking DSBs, limiting RIF1 accumulation at DSBs thereby promoting BRCA1-mediated HR (PubMed:29203878). Required for stable recruitment of ELOA and CUL5 to DNA damage sites (PubMed:28292928). Also involved in UV-induced translocation of ERCC8 to the nuclear matrix (PubMed:26620705). Essential for neuronal differentiation and neuritogenesis; regulates transcription and chromatin remodeling activities required during neurogenesis (PubMed:24874740).CATALYTIC ACTIVITY ATP + H2O = ADP + phosphate + H(+)SUBUNIT Homodimer (PubMed:15548521, PubMed:16128801). Binds DNA (PubMed:15548521). Interacts with ERCC8 (PubMed:16751180). Interacts with RNA polymerase II; interaction is enhanced by UV irradiation (PubMed:26620705, PubMed:32142649). Component of the B-WICH complex, at least composed of SMARCA5/SNF2H, BAZ1B/WSTF, SF3B1, DEK, MYO1C, ERCC6, MYBBP1A and DDX21 (PubMed:16603771). Interacts with KIAA1530/UVSSA (PubMed:22466612). Interacts with ELOA and CUL5; the interaction is induced by DNA damaging agents or by inhibitors of RNA polymerase II elongation (PubMed:28292928). Interacts (via WHD region) with RIF1 (PubMed:29203878). Interacts with SMARCC2/BAF170, SMARCB1/BAF47 and the neuron-specific chromatin remodeling complex (nBAF complex) (PubMed:24874740). Interacts with ERCC5/XPG (via C-terminus); the interaction stimulates ERCC6/CSB binding to the DNA repair bubble and ERCC6/CSB ATPase activity (PubMed:16246722). May form a complex composed of RNA polymerase II, ERCC6/CSB and ERCC5/XPG which associates with the DNA repair bubble during transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair (PubMed:16246722). Interacts with CAND1, CSTF1, DDX3X, DDX5, DDX17, DDX23, DHX36, HDAC1, HNRNPU, MTA2, PRPF3, PSMD3, RBBP4, SFPQ, SMARCA1, SMARCA2, TOP1, USP7, XRCC5, COPS3, COPS4, COPS6, DDX1, DDX41, GATAD2A, GATAD2B, PRPF4, PSMC5, SF3B2, CTR9, NONO, PSMD12 and TOP2A (PubMed:26030138).INTERACTION Recognizes and binds RNA polymerase II stalled at DNA damage sites.ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS The CSA-interacting motif (CIM) mediates interaction and recruitment of ERCC8/CSA.DOMAIN A C-terminal ubiquitin-binding domain (UBD) is essential for transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair activity, interaction with RNA polymerase II, association with chromatin after UV irradiation and for mediating the UV-induced translocation of ERRC8 to the nuclear matrix.DOMAIN The N-terminal domain exerts an inhibitory effect on the helicase ATP-binding domain in such a manner that its ATPase activity is restricted (PubMed:29203878). Phosphorylation at Ser-10 and Ser-158 promotes the intramolecular interaction of the N-terminal domain with the helicase ATP-binding domain, thereby probably releasing the inhibitory effect of the N-terminal domain on its ATPase activity (PubMed:29203878).PTM Phosphorylated in a cell cycle-dependent manner at Ser-158 by cyclin A-CDK2 and at Ser-10 by ATM in response to DNA damage (PubMed:29203878). Phosphorylation at these two sites promotes the intramolecular interaction of the N-terminal domain with the helicase ATP-binding domain, thereby probably releasing the inhibitory effect of the N-terminal domain on its ATPase activity (PubMed:29203878). Phosphorylation is essential for its chromatin remodeling activity (PubMed:29203878).PTM Ubiquitinated at the C-terminus. Ubiquitination by the CSA complex leads to ERCC6 proteasomal degradation in a UV-dependent manner. Stabilized following interaction with KIAA1530/UVSSA, which promotes recruitment of deubiquitinating enzyme USP7, leading to deubiquitination of ERCC6 thereby preventing UV-induced degradation of ERCC6 by the proteasome.PTM Sumoylation at Lys-205 in an UV-radiation-dependent manner is essential for its transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair activity.DISEASE The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.DISEASE The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.DISEASE The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.DISEASE Disease susceptibility is associated with variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.DISEASE The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.SIMILARITY Belongs to the SNF2/RAD54 helicase family.CAUTION PubMed:16916636 was retracted due to image manipulations.
