Abstract excerpt
The UvrA protein is the initial DNA damage-sensing protein in bacterial nucleotide excision repair and detects a wide variety of structurally unrelated lesions. After initial recognition of DNA damage, UvrA loads the UvrB protein onto the DNA. This protein then verifies the presence of a lesion, after which UvrA is released from the DNA. UvrA contains two ATPase domains, both belonging to the ABC ATPase...
