Amino acids 1-472 form the expressed segment for recombinant Escherichia coli (strain K12) phrB. The calculated molecular weight for this phrB protein is 73.7 kDa. The phrB protein was expressed in e.coli. The N-terminal 10xHis-SUMO tag and C-terminal Myc tag was smoothly integrated into the coding gene of phrB, which enables a simple process of detecting and purifying the phrB recombinant protein in the following steps.
Deoxyribodipyrimidine photo-lyase (PhrB) in Escherichia coli is a crucial enzyme involved in the repair of DNA damage caused by ultraviolet (UV) radiation. UV radiation can induce the formation of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) and 6-4 photoproducts in DNA, which can lead to mutations and genomic instability. PhrB, a photolyase enzyme, specifically recognizes and repairs these UV-induced lesions. It utilizes visible light as an energy source to break the covalent bonds within the damaged DNA, thereby restoring the original structure of the nucleotides. The repair mechanism facilitated by PhrB is known as photoreactivation, and it contributes to the maintenance of genomic integrity in bacteria exposed to UV light. Studying PhrB provides insights into DNA repair processes and has implications for understanding the adaptive responses of bacteria to environmental stressors such as sunlight.There are currently no reviews for this product.
