Abstract excerpt
Nucleotide excision repair (NER) is a highly conserved DNA repair mechanism present in all kingdoms of life. UvrB is a central component of the bacterial NER system, participating in damage recognition, strand excision and repair synthesis. None of the three presently available crystal structures of UvrB has defined the structure of domain 2, which is critical for the interaction with UvrA. We have solved the...
