UV-damage excision repair

Definition

Target type: biologicalprocess

A DNA repair process that is initiated by an endonuclease that introduces a single-strand incision immediately 5' of a UV-induced damage site. UV-damage excision repair acts on both cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) and pyrimidine-pyrimidone 6-4 photoproducts (6-4PPs). [GOC:mah, PMID:9619100]

UV-damage excision repair is a crucial cellular process that removes DNA lesions caused by ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which can lead to mutations, cancer, and cell death. This complex process involves several steps:

1. **Damage Detection:** UV radiation induces the formation of DNA lesions, primarily cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) and pyrimidine (6-4) pyrimidone photoproducts (6-4PPs). These lesions distort the DNA helix and interfere with replication and transcription.

2. **Damage Recognition:** Specialized proteins called damage recognition factors, such as the XPC-RAD23B complex, recognize and bind to the DNA lesions. This complex then recruits other repair proteins to the site of damage.

3. **Excision:** Two key enzymes, a 5' to 3' exonuclease (ERCC1-XPF) and a 3' to 5' exonuclease (XPG), are recruited to the lesion site. The exonucleases cleave the damaged DNA strand on either side of the lesion, removing a short oligonucleotide containing the damaged nucleotides.

4. **Gap Filling:** DNA polymerase delta or epsilon fills the gap created by the exonucleases, using the undamaged strand as a template to synthesize a new DNA segment.

5. **Ligation:** DNA ligase I seals the newly synthesized DNA segment into the original strand, completing the repair process.

This intricate process ensures the integrity of the genome and protects cells from the harmful effects of UV radiation. Errors in UV-damage excision repair can result in mutations that contribute to the development of skin cancer.'
