Nucleotide excision repair (NER) eliminates a broad variety of helix-distorting DNA lesions that can otherwise cause genomic instability. NER comprises two distinct sub-pathways: global genomic NER (GG-NER) operating throughout the genome, and transcription-coupled NER (TC-NER) preferentially removing DNA lesions from transcribing DNA strands of transcriptionally active genes. Several NER factors undergo post-translational modifications, including ubiquitination, occurring swiftly and reversibly at DNA lesion sites. Accumulating evidence indicates that ubiquitination not only orchestrates the spatio-temporal recruitment of key protein factors to DNA lesion sites but also the productive assembly of NER preincision complex. This review will be restricted to the latest conceptual understanding of ubiquitin-mediated regulation of initial damage sensors of NER, i.e., DDB, XPC, RNAPII and CSB. We project hypothetical NER models in which ubiquitin-specific segregase, valosin-containing protein (VCP)/p97, plays an essential role in timely extraction of the congregated DNA damage sensors to functionally facilitate the DNA lesion elimination from the genome.
