Incises the DNA at the 3' side of a lesion during nucleotide excision repair. Incises the DNA farther away from the lesion than UvrC. Not able to incise the 5' site of a lesion. When a lesion remains because UvrC is not able to induce the 3' incision, Cho incises the DNA. Then UvrC makes the 5' incision. The combined action of Cho and UvrC broadens the substrate range of nucleotide excision repair (By similarity).
