| - | UvrD, also known as Helicase II, is one of many components responsible in repairing DNA damage. UvrD is involved in nucleotide excision repair (NER) and transcription-coupled DNA repair (TCR repair). TCR repair occurs during transcription when Helicase II binds to a RNA polymerase (RNAP) and slides backwards in order to fix the mismatched nucleotide. One of the main structural components of how UvrD binds to RNAP is by having a Tudor-domain like fold. This helps better explain the UvrD-RNAP interaction, which is a better explanation than just having nucleic-acid affinity. A main cause in damage to DNA, which requires for nucleotide excision repair is from UV radiation, which can come from multiple sources, including sunlight and UV light from tanning beds. | + | <scene name='92/925553/Uvrd/1'>UvrD</scene>, also known as Helicase II, is one of many components responsible in repairing DNA damage.

, also known as Helicase II, is one of many components responsible in repairing DNA damage. UvrD is involved in nucleotide excision repair (NER) and transcription-coupled DNA repair (TCR repair). TCR repair occurs during transcription when Helicase II binds to a RNA polymerase (RNAP) and slides backwards in order to fix the mismatched nucleotide. One of the main structural components of how UvrD binds to RNAP is by having a Tudor-domain like fold.
