NUCLEOTIDE EXCISION REPAIR

Sancar, Aziz, Tang, Moon‐shong·1993·Photochemistry and Photobiology

Abstract

Abstract— Nucleotide excision repair is the major DNA repair mechanism in all species tested. This repair system is the sole mechanism for removing bulky adducts from DNA, but it repairs essentially all DNA lesions, and thus, in addition to its main function, it plays a back‐up role for other repair systems. In both pro‐ and eukaryotes nucleotide excision is accomplished by a multisubunit ATP‐dependent nuclease. The excision nuclease of prokaryotes incises the eighth phosphodiester bond 5' and the fourth or fifth phosphodiester bond 3' to the modified nucleotide and thus excises a 12–13‐mer. The excision nuclease of eukaryotes incises the 22nd, 23rd, or 24th phosphodiester bond 5' and the fifth phosphodiester bond 3' to the lesion and thus removes the adduct in a 27–29‐mer. A transcription repair coupling factor encoded by the mfd gene in Escherichia coli and the ERCC6 gene in humans directs the excision nuclease to RNA polymerase stalled at a lesion in the transcribed strand and thus ensures preferential repair of this strand compared to the nontranscribed strand.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
