Photolyases are proteins with an FAD chromophore that repair UV-induced pyrimidine dimers on the DNA in a light dependent manner. The cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer (CPD) class III photolyases are structurally unknown but closely related to plant cryptochromes, which serve as blue-light photoreceptors. Here we present the crystal structure of a class III photolyase termed photolyase related protein A (PhrA) of Agrobacterium tumefaciens at resolution of 1.67 Angstrom. PhrA contains 5,10-methenyltetrahydrofolate (MTHF) as an antenna chromophore with a unique binding site and - mode. Two Trp residues play pivotal roles for stabilizing MTHF by a double pi-stacking sandwich. Plant cryptochrome I forms a pocket at the same site that could accommodate MTHF or a similar molecule. The PhrA structure and mutant studies showed that electrons flow during FAD photoreduction proceeds via two Trp-triads. The structural studies on PhrA give a clearer picture on the evolutionary transition from photolyase to photoreceptor.
