DNA repair by the radical SAM enzyme spore Photoproduct Lyase: from biochemistry to structural investigations

Résumé

Radical S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) enzymes have emerged as one of the last superfamilies of enzymes discovered to date. Arguably, it is the most versatile group of enzymes involved in at least 85 biochemical transformations. One of the founding members of this enzyme superfamily is the spore photoproduct (SP) lyase, a DNA repair enzyme catalyzing the direct reversal repair of a unique DNA lesion, the so-called spore photoproduct, back into two thymidine residues. Discovered more than 20 years ago in the bacterium Bacillus subtilis, SP lyase has been shown to be widespread in the endospore-forming Firmicutes from the Bacilli and Clostridia classes and to use radical-based chemistry to perform C-C bond breakage, a chemically challenging reaction. This review describes how the work on SP lyase has illuminated a unique strategy for DNA repair and provided major advances in our understanding of the emerging radical SAM superfamily of enzymes, from a biochemical and structural perspective.
