DNA PHOTOLYASES -
DNA photolyases are DNA repair enzymes that repair pyrimidine dimer DNA lesions cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers and 6,4 photoproducts caused by ultraviolet irradiation. (Adapted from FBrf0217122).
Phenotypic Description (Red Book; Lindsley and Zimm 1992)
phr: photorepair
Deficient in photorepair of pyrimidine dimers; partially deficient in excision repair. Since phr/phr larvae show little or no photoreactivation after exposure to short wavelength UV light, the phr+ function is thought to play a significant role in UV resistance.

Model Confidence:
  • Very high (pLDDT > 90)
  • Confident (90 > pLDDT > 70)
  • Low (70 > pLDDT > 50)
  • Very low (pLDDT < 50)

AlphaFold produces a per-residue confidence score (pLDDT) between 0 and 100. Some regions with low pLDDT may be unstructured in isolation.

        Gene is involved in pre-replication DNA repair of UV and AA lesions and photorepair.

        Biochemical and photochemical characterisation of purified phr. Studies reveal the protein belongs to the folate class of enzymes.

        Drosophila have two types of photolyase, the substrate of each photolyase is completely different. Photolyase repairs UV induced DNA damage, the two types of DNA damage are cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer (CPD) and (6-4) photoproduct. phr encodes the photolyase that specifically repairs CPD.

        phr encodes the apoenzyme of DNA photolyase.

        Transformation of E.coli SY2 cells with phr provides photoreactivity and increases survival of cells on illumination with visible light after UV irradiation.

        phr gene product preferentially binds to unusual DNA structures and is UV inducible.

        Encodes a photolyase that repairs cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers induced by UV radiation of DNA.

        Additional comments

        CG18853 appears to be a chimeric gene, with the 5' part of the gene derived from CG12822 and the 3' part of the gene derived from phr.

        "CG18853" is a putative chimeric gene derived from the "CG12822" and "phr" genes (where coding sequences of the two parental genes contribute to the coding sequence of the chimeric gene).
