Photolyase: Dynamics and electron-transfer mechanisms of DNA repair

Abstract: Photolyase, a flavoenzyme containing flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) molecule as a catalytic cofactor, repairs UV-induced DNA damage of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer (CPD) and pyrimidine-pyrimidone (6-4) photoproduct using blue light. The FAD cofactor, conserved in the whole protein superfamily of photolyase/cryptochromes, adopts a unique folded configuration at the active site that plays a critical functional role in DNA repair. Here, we review our comprehensive characterization of the dynamics of flavin cof… Show more

“…However, conflicting results exist on the oxetane formation during repair. Again, the covalent links between adjacent pyrimidines in the dimers are broken, and the proper structure of DNA molecule is restored [ 77 , 78 , 79 , 80 , 81 ]. The simplistic model of photoreactivation is presented in Figure 7 .…”

“…Both CPD and 6-4PP lead to mutagenesis, cell apoptosis and ultimately causing photoageing and skin cancer if not repaired by the body's own DNA repair mechanisms. 18,19 Several reports have shown a reduction in age-related DNA repair capacity caused by an accumulation of processes including UV-induced DNA damage, nucleotide excision repair (NER) and BER systems. This consequently contributes to the advancing of photoageing.…”

“…Ideally, these photolesions are continuously removed at a rate sufficient to protect the cells. They may either be spontaneously resolved, targeted by the flavoenzyme, DNA photolyase, or by the nucleotide excision repair (NER) system ( Yamamoto et al, 2017 ; Zhang et al, 2017 ).…”
