Zavilgelsky1* Photoreactivation of UV-exposed Escherichia coli K12 AB1886 uvrA6 via luminescence of Photobacterium leiognathi luciferase 1GosNIIgenetika State Research Center, Moscow, 117545 Russia;2Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (State University), Dolgoprudnyi, Moscow Region, 141700 Russia *zavilgel@genetika.ru Received - 2015-05-14; Accepted - 2015-05-25 Bioluminescence induced by luciferases of marine bacteria promotes repair of UV-damaged DNA in Escherichia coli AB1886 uvrA6. Bacterial photolyase, which implements photoreactivation activity, was identified as a major contributor to DNA repair. However, a UV-induced increase in bioluminescence (SOS induction) of bacterial cells was insufficient for efficient photoreactivation. bioluminescence, photolyase, photoreactivation, SOS induction |
