Nucleotide Excision Repair in Prokaryotes

In this video we will be discussing about the Nucleotide Excision Repair .
Nucleotide excision repair is a DNA repair mechanism.[2] DNA damage occurs constantly because of chemicals (e.g. intercalating agents), radiation and other mutagens. Three excision repair pathways exist to repair single stranded DNA damage: Nucleotide excision repair (NER), base excision repair (BER), and DNA mismatch repair (MMR). While the BER pathway can recognize specific non-bulky lesions in DNA, it can correct only damaged bases that are removed by specific glycosylases. Similarly, the MMR pathway only targets mismatched Watson-Crick base pairs.
The process of nucleotide excision repair is controlled in Escherichia coli by the UvrABC endonuclease enzyme complex, which consists of four Uvr proteins: UvrA, UvrB, UvrC, and DNA helicase II (sometimes also known as UvrD in this complex). First, a UvrA-UvrB complex scans the DNA, with the UvrA subunit recognizing distortions in the helix, caused for example by pyrimidine dimers. When the complex recognizes such a distortion, the UvrA subunit leaves and an UvrC protein comes in and binds to the UvrB monomer and, hence, forms a new UvrBC dimer. UvrB cleaves a phosphodiester bond 4 nucleotides downstream of the DNA damage, and the UvrC cleaves a phosphodiester bond 8 nucleotides upstream of the DNA damage and created 12 nucleotide excised segment. DNA helicase II (sometimes called UvrD) then comes in and removes the excised segment by actively breaking the hydrogen bonds between the complementary bases. The resultant gap is then filled in using DNA polymerase I and DNA ligase. The basic excision process is very similar in higher cells, but these cells usually involve many more proteins - E.coli is a simple example

Thank you so much for providing the content in such a compact manner. It usually requires hours to just untangle all the information given in books.

[@hussainbiology]

Glad it was helpful!.. thanks for appreciation

Hello sir, I'm from Tamil Nadu. Me and friend are very much admired by your lectures and we often mention you when we talk about the subject. We appreciate you for the effort to make such a crispy video which covers almost all the essential informations, that too with so much clarity. Special appreciation goes to your drawing and visual explanation, it really shows, to convey the information modern gadgets and hitech apps are not needed.. we ourselves as teachers know how much effort it take to bring it on to explain the concept.. you are a very good teacher 👏👏👏.. thank you for your what you are doing... All the very best to reach for all your endeavours..

There isn't a dimer of UvrB right...or is it? ..I'm confused I'm sorry 😅

[@hussainbiology]

There is ....
