Experiments on photoreactivation of bacteriophages inactivated with ultraviolet radiation.
Kelner (1949), working with conidia of Streptomyces griseus, discovered that light belonging to the visible range is capable of reactivating biological material that has been rendered inactive by ultraviolet radiation (WJY). Shortly after Kelner's discovery was known, a similar phenomenon in bacteriophages (bacterial viruses) was observed by accident. Plates of nutrient agar containing UV-inact...
متن کاملPhotoreactivation in humans.
Photoreactivation is a DNA repair pathway that requires the presence of a photoreactivating enzyme, DNA photolyase. DNA photolyase recognizes and binds specifically to ultraviolet radiation (UVR)-induced cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers in DNA. Exposure of the photolyase-dimer complex to wavelengths in the range of 300-500 nm results, upon absorption of a photon, in the return of the dimerized pyr...
متن کاملPhotoreactivation of a cytoplasmic virus.
Ultraviolet light-inactivated frog virus 3 is efficiently photoreactivated by chick embryo cells. A cellular enzyme is presumably responsible for this repair of viral deoxyribonucleic acid, for the phenomenon is insensitive to an inhibitor of protein synthesis and is not seen in mammalian cells that are known to lack photoreactivating enzyme. Since frog virus 3 is a cytoplasmic virus, functiona...
متن کاملStudies on Streptococcal Bacteriophages
Evidence has been presented that the burst size in the Group A and Group C streptococcal phage-host systems are in general similar producing approximately 13 phage particles per infected coccus. The exception was the C1 phage which produced 10 times more virus particles than all the other phages tested. The eclipse period for the A25 phage-host system was found to extend for 34 min, while the C...
متن کاملEffect of potassium nitrate on photoreactivation of Escherichia coli cells.
Photoreactivation is the repair of ultraviolet radiation damage in a biological system with light of wavelength longer than that of the damaging radiation (Jagger1). A wide variety of ultraviolet induced effects may be reversed by photoreactiva tion, including killing, mutations, division delay, block in the DNA synthesis, etc. Such photoreactiva tion effects generally involve the photoenzyma...
