The mechanisms of NER following UV radiation. Photolesions are recognised by both TCR and GGR, both of which have specific recognition factors involved. These two pathways then integrate, with several repair proteins assembling at the site of damage, unwinding the DNA, and orienting the excision of the photolesion. This is then followed by new DNA synthesis and ligation.
