UV-B damage and protection at the molecular level in plants.

Photosynthesis research

Strid A, Chow WS, Anderson JM.
PMID: 24311138
Photosynth Res. 1994 Mar;39(3):475-89. doi: 10.1007/BF00014600.

Influx of solar UV-B radiation (280-320 nm) will probably increase in the future due to depletion of stratospheric ozone. In plants, there are several targets for the deleterious UV-B radiation, especially the chloroplast. This review summarizes the early effects...

The Roles of Several Residues of Escherichia coli DNA Photolyase in the Highly Efficient Photo-Repair of Cyclobutane Pyrimidine Dimers.

PMID: 20871655
J Nucleic Acids. 2010 Aug 31;2010. doi: 10.4061/2010/794782.

Escherichia coli DNA photolyase is an enzyme that repairs the major kind of UV-induced lesions, cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer (CPD) in DNA utilizing 350-450 nm light as energy source. The enzyme has very high photo-repair efficiency (the quantum yield of...

PMID: 21584265
Cancer Inform. 2011 Apr 18;10:121-31. doi: 10.4137/CIN.S6670.

Living on earth, we are exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light as part of the solar radiation. UVB spectrum light exposure contributes to the development of skin cancer by interacting with pyrimidine pairs to create lesions called cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers....

Molecular mechanisms of ultraviolet radiation-induced DNA damage and repair.

Journal of nucleic acids

Rastogi RP, Richa, Kumar A, Tyagi MB, Sinha RP.
PMID: 21209706
J Nucleic Acids. 2010 Dec 16;2010:592980. doi: 10.4061/2010/592980.

DNA is one of the prime molecules, and its stability is of utmost importance for proper functioning and existence of all living systems. Genotoxic chemicals and radiations exert adverse effects on genome stability. Ultraviolet radiation (UVR) (mainly UV-B: 280-315...

Ursolic Acid-Regulated Energy Metabolism-Reliever or Propeller of Ultraviolet-Induced Oxidative Stress and DNA Damage?.

Proteomes

Lee YH, Sun Y, Glickman RD.
PMID: 28250388
Proteomes. 2014 Aug 06;2(3):399-425. doi: 10.3390/proteomes2030399.

Ultraviolet (UV) light is a leading cause of diseases, such as skin cancers and cataracts. A main process mediating UV-induced pathogenesis is the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Excessive ROS levels induce the formation of DNA adducts (e.g.,...

Formation of Cyclobutane Pyrimidine Dimers after UVA Exposure (Dark-CPDs) Is Inhibited by an Hydrophilic Extract of .

Antioxidants (Basel, Switzerland)

Portillo-Esnaola M, Rodríguez-Luna A, Nicolás-Morala J, Gallego-Rentero M, Villalba M, Juarranz Á, González S.
PMID: 34943064
Antioxidants (Basel). 2021 Dec 07;10(12). doi: 10.3390/antiox10121961.

Exposure to sun and especially to ultraviolet radiation (UVR) exerts well known detrimental effects on skin which are implicated in malignancy. UVR induces production of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs), immediately during exposure and even hours after the exposure, these...

Downsizing in plants-UV light induces pronounced morphological changes in the absence of stress.

Plant physiology

Qian M, Rosenqvist E, Prinsen E, Pescheck F, Flygare AM, Kalbina I, Jansen MAK, Strid Å.
PMID: 34618138
Plant Physiol. 2021 Sep 04;187(1):378-395. doi: 10.1093/plphys/kiab262.

Ultraviolet (UV) light induces a stocky phenotype in many plant species. In this study, we investigate this effect with regard to specific UV wavebands (UV-A or UV-B) and the cause for this dwarfing. UV-A- or UV-B-enrichment of growth light...

DNA Fiber Assay upon Treatment with Ultraviolet Radiations.

Bio-protocol

Luigi A, Giordano A, Pentimalli F.
