Abstract excerpt
Many proteins belonging to the cryptochrome/photolyase family play important roles in regulating plant functions, acting either as blue-light photoreceptors or as enzymes responsible for the repair of pyrimidine dimers produced under UV light. The members of the plant-specific photolyase/blue-light receptor 2 (PPL/PHR2) subclade of this family are almost completely uncharacterized. Here, we focused on the role of...
