Photoreactivation 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 کاملPhotoreactivation in airborne Mycobacterium parafortuitum.
Photoreactivation was observed in airborne Mycobacterium parafortuitum exposed concurrently to UV radiation (254 nm) and visible light. Photoreactivation rates of airborne cells increased with increasing relative humidity (RH) and decreased with increasing UV dose. Under a constant UV dose with visible light absent, the UV inactivation rate of airborne M. parafortuitum cells decreased by a fact...

Pfefferkorn, E. R. (Harvard Medical School, Boston, Mass.), Boyce W. Burge, and Helen M. Coady. Characteristics of the photoreactivation of pseudorabies virus. J. Bacteriol. 92:856-861. 1966.-Pseudorabies virus, killed with ultraviolet light and then allowed to adsorb to chick embryo tissue culture cells, can be photoreactivated by light of longer wavelengths. The photoreactivable sector is app...
متن کاملQuantum Relations in Photoreactivation of Colpidium
1. The amount of visible or long ultraviolet light (UV) required to photoreactivate Colpidium colpoda injured with known dosages of short UV (2654 A) was determined. 2. The effect of the short UV was tested by the delay in division of exposed animals compared to controls. Photoreactivation was tested by the effect of postillumination on the delay of division of treated colpidia compared to cont...
