Site-specific DNA binding proteins must search the genome to locate their target sites, and many DNA modifying enzymes have the ability to scan along DNA in search of their substrates. This process is termed processive searching, and it serves to decrease the search time by effectively increasing the DNA binding footprint of a protein. The repertoire of proteins capable of processive searching is expanding, highlighting the need to understand the governing principles behind this fundamental process. Many of the enzymes in the base excision DNA repair pathway are capable of processive searching. Here, we briefly summarize methodology for determining if a protein can scan DNA and highlight the discovery that the base excision repair DNA polymerase β performs a processive search. Elucidation of physical models for DNA searching has also provided a plausible mechanism for pathway coordination during repair. The ability of BER enzymes to transiently sample adjacent DNA sites while bound to their product confers accessibility to downstream enzymes and does not require proteinprotein interactions for coordination.
