Dynamics and mechanism of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer repair by DNA photolyase.
Photolyase uses blue light to restore the major ultraviolet (UV)-induced DNA damage, the cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer (CPD), to two normal bases by splitting the cyclobutane ring. Our earlier studies showed that the overall repair is completed in 700 ps through a cyclic electron-transfer radical mechanism. However, the two fundamental processes, electron-tunneling pathways and cyclobutane ring ...
متن کاملThe native cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer photolyase of rice is phosphorylated.
The cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer (CPD) is a major type of DNA damage induced by ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation. CPD photolyase, which absorbs blue/UVA light as an energy source to monomerize dimers, is a crucial factor for determining the sensitivity of rice (Oryza sativa) to UVB radiation. Here, we purified native class II CPD photolyase from rice leaves. As the final purification step, CPD pho...
متن کاملDNA sequencing using Taq polymerase.
Three DNA polymerases, namely E.coli DNA polymerase 1 (Klenow), reverse transcriptase and T7 DNA polymerase (sequenase), are commonly used for DNA sequencing by the chain termination method of Sanger and colleagues [1). However, the secondary structure of the DNA template can impede the progress of all three polymerases. I have developed a novel procedure in which the thermostable polymerase of...
متن کاملDNA binding mode of the Fab fragment of a monoclonal antibody specific for cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer.
Monoclonal antibodies specific for the cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer (CPD) are widely used for detection and quantification of DNA photolesions. However, the mechanisms of antigen binding by anti-CPD antibodies are little understood. Here we report NMR analyses of antigen recognition by TDM-2, which is a mouse monoclonal antibody specific for the cis - syn -cyclobutane thymine dimer (T[ c, s ]T)...
متن کاملDNA photolyase repairs the trans-syn cyclobutane thymine dimer.
DNA photolyases catalyze the splitting of the cyclobutane ring joining the two dihydropyrimidines of a pyrimidine dimer by a photoinduced electron-transfer reaction. Previous studies concluded that photolyase repairs only the cis-syn form of the eight stereoisomers of the cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer (Pyr[ ]Pyr). In this study we found that Escherichia coli photolyase binds to the trans-syn-I i...
