Abstract excerpt
PhrB from Agrobacterium fabrum is the first prokaryotic photolyase which repairs (6-4) UV DNA photoproducts. The protein harbors three cofactors: the enzymatically active FAD chromophore, a second chromophore, 6,7-dimethyl-8-ribityllumazine (DMRL) and a cubane-type Fe-S cluster. Tyr424 of PhrB is part of the DNA-binding site and could provide an electron link to the Fe-S cluster. The PhrBY424F mutant showed...
