A damage recognition complex composed of 2 UvrA and 2 UvrB subunits scans DNA for abnormalities. Upon binding of the UvrA(2)B(2) complex to a putative damaged site, the DNA wraps around one UvrB monomer. DNA wrap is dependent on ATP binding by UvrB and probably causes local melting of the DNA helix, facilitating insertion of UvrB beta-hairpin between the DNA strands. Then UvrB probes one DNA strand for the presence of a lesion. If a lesion is found the UvrA subunits dissociate and the UvrB-DNA preincision complex is formed. This complex is subsequently bound by UvrC and the second UvrB is released. If no lesion is found, the DNA wraps around the other UvrB subunit that will check the other stand for damage (By similarity). Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMed UvrB is the damage recognition element of the highly conserved UvrABC pathway that functions in the removal of bulky DNA adducts. Pivotal to this is the formation of a damage detection complex that relies on the ability of UvrB to locate and sequester diverse lesions. Whilst structures of UvrB bound to DNA have recently been reported, none address the issue of lesion recognition. Here, we describe the crystal structure of UvrB bound to a pentanucleotide containing a single fluorescein-adducted thymine that reveals a unique mechanism for damage detection entirely dependent on the exclusion of lesions larger than an undamaged nucleotide.
