Global genome nucleotide excision repair (GG-NER) is completed by DNA repair synthesis that fills the single stranded gap created after dual incision of the damaged DNA strand and excision of the ~27-30 bases long oligonucleotide that contains the lesion. DNA synthesis is performed by DNA polymerases epsilon or delta, or the Y family DNA polymerase kappa (POLK), which are loaded to the repair site after 5' incision (Staresincic et al. 2009, Ogi et al. 2010). DNA ligases LIG1 or LIG3 (as part of the LIG3:XRCC1 complex) ligate the newly synthesized stretch of oligonucleotides to the incised DNA strand (Moser et al. 2007).
