Hypothetical model for UvrB loading during nucleotide excision repair. After UvrA departure, UvrB remains deposited on the DNA away from the lesion (yellow star). UvrB then translocates towards and dimerizes at the damaged site. UvrC then replaces one of the UvrB copies to initiate excision. Adapted from [51].
