'Close-fitting sleeves': DNA damage recognition by the UvrABC nuclease system

Bennett Van Houten et al. Mutat Res. .

Abstract

DNA damage recognition represents a long-standing problem in the field of protein-DNA interactions. This article reviews our current knowledge of how damage recognition is achieved in bacterial nucleotide excision repair through the concerted action of the UvrA, UvrB, and UvrC proteins.
