NCBI Protein Information
photolyase 1
NCBI Summary
encodes an amino acid sequence with significant homology to the recently characterized type II photolyases. The uvr2-1 mutant is unable to remove CPDs in vivo, and plant extracts lack detectable photolyase activity, is sensitive to UV-B and is an allele

UniProt Comments
Involved in repair of UV radiation-induced DNA damage. Catalyzes the light-dependent monomerization (300-600 nm) of cyclobutylpyrimidine dimers (CPDs), which are formed between adjacent bases on the same DNA strand upon exposure to ultraviolet radiation. Required for plant survival in the presence of UV-B light. Not involved in the repair of (6-4) photoproducts.
