Abstract
Nucleotide excision repair (NER) clears genomes of DNA adducts formed by UV light, environmental agents, and antitumor drugs. Gene mutations that lead to defects in the core NER reaction cause the skin cancer-prone disease xeroderma pigmentosum. In NER, DNA lesions are excised within an oligonucleotide of 25-30 residues via a complex, multi-step reaction that is regulated by protein-protein interactions. These interactions were first characterized in the 1990s using pull-down, co-IP and yeast two-hybrid assays. More recently, high-resolution structures and detailed functional studies have started to yield detailed pictures of the progression along the NER reaction coordinate. In this review, we highlight how the study of interactions among proteins by structural and/or functional studies have provided insights into the mechanisms by which the NER machinery recognizes and excises DNA lesions. Furthermore, we identify reported, but poorly characterized or unsubstantiated interactions in need of further validation.

Abstract
Nucleotide excision repair (NER) is responsible for removing a wide variety of bulky adducts from DNA, thus contributing to the maintenance of genome stability. The efficiency with which proteins of the NER system recognize and remove bulky adducts depends on many factors and is of great clinical and diagnostic significance. The review examines current concepts of the NER system molecular basis in eukaryotic cells and analyzes methods for the assessment of the NER-mediated DNA repair efficiency both in vitro and ex vivo.

Abstract
Nucleotide excision repair (NER) is a major DNA repair pathway conserved from bacteria to humans. Various DNA helicases, a group of enzymes capable of separating DNA duplex into two strands through ATP binding and hydrolysis, are required by NER to unwind the DNA duplex around the lesion to create a repair bubble and for damage verification and removal. In prokaryotes, UvrB helicase is required for repair bubble formation and damage verification, while UvrD helicase is responsible for the removal of the excised damage containing single-strand (ss) DNA fragment. In addition, UvrD facilitates transcription-coupled repair (TCR) by backtracking RNA polymerase stalled at the lesion. In eukaryotes, two helicases XPB and XPD from the transcription factor TFIIH complex fulfill the helicase requirements of NER. Interestingly, homologs of all these four helicases UvrB, UvrD, XPB, and XPD have been identified in archaea. This review summarizes our current understanding about the structure, function, and mechanism of these four helicases.

Abstract
Nucleotide excision repair (NER) is unique in its ability to identify and remove vastly different lesions from DNA. Recent advances in the structural characterization of complexes involved in detection, verification, and excision of damaged DNA have reshaped our understanding of the molecular architecture of this efficient and accurate machinery. Initial damage recognition achieved through transcription coupled repair (TC-NER) or global genome repair (GG-NER) has been addressed by complexes of RNA Pol II with different TC-NER factors and XPC/RAD23B/Centrin-2 with TFIIH, respectively. Moreover, transcription factor IIH (TFIIH), one of the core repair factors and a central NER hub was resolved in different states, providing important insights how this complex facilitates DNA opening and damage verification. Combined, these recent advances led to a highly improved understanding of the molecular landscape of NER core processes, sharpening our view on how NER is successfully achieved.

Abstract
Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) is a lethal premature aging disorder without an effective therapeutic regimen. Because of their targetability and influence on gene expression, microRNAs (miRNAs) are attractive therapeutic tools to treat diseases. Here we identified that hsa-miR-59 (miR-59) was markedly upregulated in HGPS patient cells and in multiple tissues of an HGPS mouse model (LmnaG609G/G609G ), which disturbed the interaction between RNAPII and TFIIH, resulting in abnormal expression of cell cycle genes by targeting high-mobility group A family HMGA1 and HMGA2. Functional inhibition of miR-59 alleviated the cellular senescence phenotype of HGPS cells. Treatment with AAV9-mediated anti-miR-59 reduced fibrosis in the quadriceps muscle, heart, and aorta, suppressed epidermal thinning and dermal fat loss, and yielded a 25.5% increase in longevity of LmnaG609G/G609G mice. These results identify a new strategy for the treatment of HGPS and provide insight into the etiology of HGPS disease.

Abstract
DNA is under constant threat of damage from a variety of chemical and physical insults, such as ultraviolet rays produced by sunlight and reactive oxygen species produced during respiration or inflammation. Because damaged DNA, if not repaired, can lead to mutations or cell death, multiple DNA repair pathways have evolved to maintain genome stability. Two repair pathways, nucleotide excision repair (NER) and base excision repair (BER), must sift through large segments of nondamaged nucleotides to detect and remove rare base modifications. Many BER and NER proteins share a common base-flipping mechanism for the detection of modified bases. However, the exact mechanisms by which these repair proteins detect their damaged substrates in the context of cellular chromatin remains unclear. The latest generation of single-molecule techniques, including the DNA tightrope assay, atomic force microscopy, and real-time imaging in cells, now allows for nearly direct visualization of the damage search and detection processes. This review describes several mechanistic commonalities for damage detection that were discovered with these techniques, including a combination of 3-dimensional and linear diffusion for surveying damaged sites within long stretches of DNA. We also discuss important findings that DNA repair proteins within and between pathways cooperate to detect damage. Finally, future technical developments and single-molecule studies are described which will contribute to the growing mechanistic understanding of DNA damage detection.
