Deoxyribodipyrimidine photo-lyase

UniProtKB accession:  Q6F6A2

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  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.
