Abstract:
In this issue, Li et al. (2015) uncover roles for the XPB and XPD helicases and for XPA during damage verification in nucleotide excision repair, supporting a novel tripartite damage checking mechanism that combines extreme versatility with narrow specificity.

Nucleotide Excision Repair
Cells are regularly exposed to mutagens—factors in the environment that can damage DNA and generate mutations. UV radiation is one of the most common mutagens and is estimated to introduce a significant number of changes in DNA. These include bends or kinks in the structure, which can block DNA replication or transcription. If these errors are not fixed, the damage can cause mutations, which in turn can result in cancer or disease depending on which sequences are...
