Putative Blue-Light Photoreceptors from Arabidopsis thaliana and Sinapis alba with a High Degree of Sequence Homology to DNA Photolyase Contain the Two Photolyase Cofactors but Lack DNA Repair Activity
Abstract
The putative blue-light photoreceptor genes of Arabidopsis thaliana and Sinapis alba (mustard) are highly homologous to the DNA repair genes encoding DNA photolyases. The photoreceptors from both organisms were overexpressed in Escherichia coli, purified, and characterized. The photoreceptors contain two chromophores which were identified as flavin adenine dinucleotide and methenyltetrahydrofolate. This chromophore composition suggests that the blue light photoreceptor may initiate signal transduction by a novel pathway which involves electron transfer. Despite the high degree of sequence identity to and identical chromophore composition with photolyases, neither photoreceptor has any photoreactivating activity.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
