光裂合酶(Photolyases,EC 4.1.99.3)为一种DNA修复酵素,专门修复遭受紫外线破坏的DNA。此酵素的作用需要可见光协助活化[1]及DNA修复[2]。光裂合酶修复DNA的过程称为光学活作用(photoreactivation)。

系统发生学来看,光裂合酶是一个相当古老的酵素,从细菌真菌[3],到动物体内都有[4],且在植物体内尤为重要。人类等胎盘哺乳类体内则并无此酵素活性,而是使用另一种较无效率的核苷酸切除修复法来取代光裂合酶[5]

DNA中相邻的胸腺嘧啶受到紫外线的照射时,会形成共价键,形成环丁烷桥,称为胸腺嘧啶二聚体。形成胸腺嘧啶二聚体的基因会导致基因在复制和转录时出现错误[6]。光裂合酶会接在DNA上,切除胸腺嘧啶二聚体,并修复回原本的样子。

光裂合酶为一种黄素蛋白,内含两个捕光性辅因子。所有的光裂合酶都含有FADH,并可根据他的第二辅因子分为两类。第一类为叶酸性光裂合酶,其第二辅因子的成分为次甲基四氢叶酸蝶呤(Methenyltetrahydrofolate,MTHF),称。第二类则为脱氮黄素英语deazaflavin性光裂合酶,其第二辅因子为8-羟-7,8-二甲基-5-脱氮核黄素(8-hydroxy-7,8-didemethyl-5-deazariboflavin,8-HDF)。FAD本身即有酵素活性,第二辅因子则可在低光状态下加速反应进行。被光活化的光裂合酶会将FADH的电子,转移给胸腺嘧啶二聚体来裂解二聚体[7]

除了第二辅因子之外,光裂合酶也可根据序列相似性分为两种,第一种主要在革兰氏阴性菌、阳性菌、嗜盐古菌、真菌,和植物体内。Proteins containing this domain also include Arabidopsis thaliana cryptochrome英语cryptochromes 1 and 2, which are blue light photoreceptors that mediate blue light-induced gene expression and modulation of circadian rhythms.

、可以将光裂合酶分为两类。The first class contains enzymes from Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, the halophilic archaebacteria Halobacterium halobium,以及真菌与植物。阿拉伯芥Cryptochrome英语Cryptochrome 1与2亦含有此种结构域,作为促进蓝光基因表现与调整昼夜节律的光受体。

The second class are named cryptochrome (Cry), found in species as diverse as Drosophila, Arabidopsis, Synechocystis, and Human (Cry-DASH). These were previously assumed to have no DNA repair activity because of negligible activity on double-stranded DNA. A study[4] by A. Sancar and P. Selby provided evidence to suggest this branch of cryptochromes have photolyase activity with a high degree of specificity for cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers in single-stranded DNA. Their study showed that VcCry1 from Vibrio cholerae, X1Cry from Xenopus laevis, and AtCry3 from Arabidopsis thaliana all had photolyase activity on UV irradiated ssDNA in vitro.
