SSL2 [YIL143C]
General transcription and DNA repair factor IIH subunit RAD25; Component of RNA polymerase transcription factor TFIIH holoenzyme; acts as dsDNA-dependent translocase in context of TFIIH, unwinds DNA strands during initiation and promotes transcription start site (TSS) scanning; has DNA-dependent ATPase/helicase activity; interacts functionally with TFIIB, has roles in TSS selection and gene looping to juxtapose initiation and termination regions; involved in DNA repair; relocalizes to cytosol under hypoxia; homolog of human ERCC3; Belongs to the helicase family. RAD25/XPB subfamily.
