| Type: | Domain | Name: | UVR domain |
| Description: | During the process of Escherichia colinucleotide excision repair, DNA damage recognition and processing are achieved by the action of the uvrA, uvrB,and uvrC gene products []. UvrB and UvrC share a common domain of around 35amino acids, the so called UVR domain. This domain in UvrB can interact with the homologous domain in UvrC throughout a putative coiled coil structure.This interaction is important for the incision of the damaged strand [].A conserved region similar to the UVR domain is also found in the ATP-binding subunit of bacterial and chloroplastic Clp ATPases [], which suggest that the UVR domain is not only involved in the interaction between uvrB and uvrC. | Short Name: | UVR_dom |
