genome of the facultatively photosynthetic bacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides encodes three proteins of the photolyase/cryptochrome family. It is shown that phrA (RSP2143) encodes a functional photolyase, which is an enzyme that repairs UV radiation-induced DNA damage in a blue light dependent manner | Cereibacter sphaeroides |

additional information | expression of phrA is upregulated in response to light. Furthermore, it is shown that singlet oxygen and hydrogen peroxide dependent signals are transmitted by the sigmaE factor and the anti-sigmaE factor ChrR affecting phrA expression, while superoxide anions do not stimulate phrA expression | Cereibacter sphaeroides | - |

additional information | - |
specific activity is shown by an enhanced survival rate of wildtype Rhodobacter sphaeroides (53%) cells compared to deltaphrA cells (3%) after exposure to UV light. A complementation by plasmid-borne phrA restores photoreactivation properties and increases the survival rate of the deletion mutant 14fold | Cereibacter sphaeroides |
