Description
AI-generatedUnreviewed
This family of proteins includes members involved in the repair of UV-induced DNA damage, specifically (6-4) lesions. One characterized member functions as a photolyase, utilizing blue-light energy to catalyze the photoreactivation of (6-4) pyrimidine-pyrimidone photoproducts in both single-stranded and double-stranded DNA. The family is related to the iron-sulfur bacterial cryptochrome/photolyase (FeS-BCP) group, suggesting a conserved mechanism involving electron transfer facilitated by iron-sulfur clusters. The presence of uncharacterized members indicates potential functional diversity within the family.
