Photolyases repair UV damage to DNA by using absorbed blue light. Within the photolyase/cryptochrome superfamily (PCSf), a major subgroup consists of prokaryotic (6-4) photolyases. These enzymes rely on flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) as catalytic cofactor, besides an ancillary antenna chromophore, and [4Fe-4S] cluster with yet unknown function. For 6-4 photolyase Caulobacter crescentus, we investigated structural changes associated its different redox states damage-free crystallography...
Protein quality control (PQC) mechanisms are essential for degradation of misfolded or dysfunctional proteins. An part protein homeostasis is recognition defective proteins by PQC components and their elimination the ubiquitin–proteasome system, often concentrating on termini as indicators integrity. Changes in amino acid composition C-terminal ends arise through disintegration, alternative splicing, during translation step synthesis from premature termination translational stop-codon...
