PROSITE documentation PDOC50165 [for PROSITE entry PS50165]
UvrC family homology region profile


Description

In prokaryote, nucleotide excision repair, DNA damage recognition and processing are achieved by the action of the uvrA, uvrB, and uvrC protein complex [1].

UvrC proteins contain 4 conserved regions: the UVR domain which interacts with uvrB (see <PDOC50151>), a Helix hairpin Helix (HhH) domain important for 5 prime incision of damage DNA, the GIY-YIG domain (see <PDOC50164>) and a central homology region of unknown function, which is specific for UvrC proteins.
