| UniProt functional annotation for Q84KJ5 | |||
| UniProt code: Q84KJ5. |
| Organism: | Arabidopsis thaliana (Mouse-ear cress). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Viridiplantae; Streptophyta; Embryophyta; Tracheophyta; Spermatophyta; Magnoliopsida; eudicotyledons; Gunneridae; Pentapetalae; rosids; malvids; Brassicales; Brassicaceae; Camelineae; Arabidopsis. | |
| Function: | May have a photoreceptor function. Binds ss- and ds-DNA in a sequence non-specific manner. Has a photolyase activity specific for cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers in ssDNA. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17062752}. | |
| Cofactor: | Name=FAD; Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:57692; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:12834405}; Note=Binds 1 FAD per subunit. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12834405}; | |
| Cofactor: | Name=(6R)-5,10-methylene-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrofolate; Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:15636; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:12834405}; Note=Binds 1 5,10-methenyltetrahydrofolate (MTHF) per subunit. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12834405}; | |
| Subunit: | Homodimer. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17188299}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Plastid, chloroplast {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12834405}. Mitochondrion {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12834405}. | |
| Miscellaneous: | 5,10-methenyltetrahydrofolate (MTHF) acts as a functional antenna for the photoreduction of FAD. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the DNA photolyase class-1 family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
| Sequence caution: | Sequence=AAL57669.1; Type=Erroneous initiation; Note=Truncated N-terminus.; Evidence={ECO:0000305}; | |
