Chromatin structure modulates DNA repair by photolyase in vivo.
Yeast and many other organisms use nucleotide excision repair (NER) and photolyase in the presence of light (photoreactivation) to repair cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs), a major class of DNA lesions generated by UV light. To study the role of photoreactivation at the chromatin level in vivo, we used yeast strains which contained minichromosomes (YRpTRURAP, YRpCS1) with well-characterized ...
متن کاملElectrically monitoring DNA repair by photolyase.
Cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers are the major DNA photoproducts produced upon exposure to UV radiation. If left unrepaired, these lesions can lead to replication errors, mutation, and cell death. Photolyase is a light-activated flavoenzyme that binds to pyrimidine dimers in DNA and repairs them in a reaction triggered by electron transfer from the photoexcited flavin cofactor to the dimer. Using ...
متن کاملLight and dark in chromatin repair: repair of UV-induced DNA lesions by photolyase and nucleotide excision repair.
Nucleotide excision repair (NER) and DNA repair by photolyase in the presence of light (photoreactivation) are the major pathways to remove UV-induced DNA lesions from the genome, thereby preventing mutagenesis and cell death. Photoreactivation was found in many prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms, but not in mammals, while NER seems to be universally distributed. Since packaging of eukaryotic...
متن کاملSPOC1 modulates DNA repair by regulating key determinants of chromatin compaction and DNA damage response
Survival time-associated plant homeodomain (PHD) finger protein in Ovarian Cancer 1 (SPOC1, also known as PHF13) is known to modulate chromatin structure and is essential for testicular stem-cell differentiation. Here we show that SPOC1 is recruited to DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) in an ATM-dependent manner. Moreover, SPOC1 localizes at endogenous repair foci, including OPT domains and accum...
متن کاملDirect observation of thymine dimer repair in DNA by photolyase.
Photolyase uses light energy to split UV-induced cyclobutane dimers in damaged DNA, but its molecular mechanism has never been directly revealed. Here, we report the direct mapping of catalytic processes through femtosecond synchronization of the enzymatic dynamics with the repair function. We observed direct electron transfer from the excited flavin cofactor to the dimer in 170 ps and back ele...
