Characterization of the Escherichia coli damage-independent UvrBC endonuclease activity (1998)
Journal Article
Bazuine, M., van Knippenberg, I., Visse, R., & Goosen, N. (1998). Characterization of the Escherichia coli damage-independent UvrBC endonuclease activity. Journal of Biological Chemistry, 273(52), 34896-34903. https://doi.org/10.1074/jbc.273.52.34896

Incision of damaged DNA templates by UvrBC inEscherichia coli depends on UvrA, which loads UvrB on the site of the damage. A 50-base pair 3′ prenicked DNA substrate containing a cholesterol lesion is incised by UvrABC at two positions 5′ to the lesio...
