Clorella virus PBCV-1 encodes a homolog of the bacteriophage T4 UV damage repair gene denV
Article Abstract:
The bacteriophage T4 denV gene encodes a DNA repair enzyme used in pyrimidine photodimer excision. The first homologs of the denV gene in chlorella viruses, which are common in fresh water, have been found. This gene functions in vivo and also when cloned in Escherichia coli. Photodamaged virus DNA can also be photoreactivated by the host chlorella. Two separate DNA repair systems, one that works in the dark and another that works in the light, substantially affect their survival.
