Structural highlights
Function[PHR_SYNP6] Involved in repair of UV radiation-induced DNA damage. Catalyzes the light-dependent monomerization (300-600 nm) of cyclobutyl pyrimidine dimers (in cis-syn configuration), which are formed between adjacent bases on the same DNA strand upon exposure to ultraviolet radiation. Evolutionary ConservationCheck, as determined by ConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf. Publication Abstract from PubMedThe crystal structure at 1.8 A resolution of 8-HDF type photolyase from A. nidulans shows a backbone structure similar to that of MTHF type E. coli photolyase but reveals a completely different binding site for the light-harvesting cofactor.
