The first step in the repair of DNA damage is lesion detection. In this issue, Scrima et al. (2008) report the structure of the complex of DNA Damage-Binding Protein 1 (DDB1) and DDB2 bound to a DNA photodimer, providing critical insight into the repair of DNA damage caused by ultraviolet light.
DNA损伤修复的第一步是损伤检测。在本期中,斯克里马等人(2008年)报道了与DNA光二聚体结合的DNA损伤结合蛋白1(DDB1)和DDB2复合物的结构,为深入了解紫外线引起的DNA损伤修复提供了关键线索。
