Structural basis of pyrimidine-pyrimidone (6–4) photoproduct recognition by UV-DDB in the nucleosome

UV-DDB, an initiation factor for the nucleotide excision repair pathway, recognizes 6–4PP lesions through a base flipping mechanism. As genomic DNA is almost entirely accommodated within nucleosomes, the flipping of the 6–4PP bases is supposed to be extremely difficult if the lesion occurs in a nucl...
