Increases in ultraviolet radiation at the Earth's surface due to the depletion of the stratospheric ozone layer have recently fuelled interest in the mechanisms of various effects it might have on organisms. DNA is certainly one of the key targets for UV-induced damage in a variety of organisms ranging from bacteria to humans. UV radiation induces two of the most abundant mutagenic and cytotoxic DNA lesions such as cyclobutane-pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) and 6-4 photoproducts (6-4PPs) and their…

Solar ultraviolet radiation-induced DNA damage in aquatic organisms: potential environmental impact.

Physiological aspects of UV-excitation of DNA.

TLDR
This review concentrates on the UV-induced DNA damage and the associated repair mechanisms as well as various damage detection methods.

TLDR
The incidence of solar UV-radiation on earth's surface along with the formation of major types of UV-induced DNA damage and the associated repair mechanisms as well as methods of detecting DNA damage are highlighted and the present understanding on the impact on solar UV radiation on human health is presented.

DNA Damage and Repair in Plants under Ultraviolet and Ionizing Radiations

TLDR
The current minireview introducesUV/IR and overviews UV/IR-mediated DNA damage products and critically discusses the biochemistry and genetics of major pathways responsible for the repair of UV/ IR-accrued DNA damage.

UV-induced DNA damage in coral reef fish: damage levels and protection mechanisms

TLDR
The aim of this PhD was to assess the impact of ambient and elevated levels of UVR on reef fish in terms of UV-induced DNA damage, and to evaluate the protective mechanisms available to fish with and without UV vision and the ability to revert DNA damage via photoreactivation and dark repair.

The effect of UVA irradiation on the DNA damage response in a human keratinocyte cell line

TLDR
The rate at which damage signals are released from irradiated cells decreased over time in a dose-dependent manner, suggesting that the rate of DNA damage surveillance and repair pathways play an important role in protecting skin cells against the carcinogenic effects of ultraviolet radiation.

Molecular Regulation of UV‐Induced DNA Repair

TLDR
Recent studies on molecular mechanisms regulating nucleotide excision repair by extracellular cues and intracellular signaling pathways are reviewed, with a special focus on the molecular regulation of individual repair factors.

Photoreactivation is the main repair pathway for UV-induced DNA damage in coral planulae

TLDR
It is found that photoreactivation, along with additional UV shielding in the form of five mycosporine-like amino acids, are sufficient for survival in surface tropical waters and that planulae do not accumulate DNA damage despite being exposed to high UVR.

Physicochemical mechanism of light-driven DNA repair by (6-4) photolyases.

TLDR
This review discusses the consecutive steps of the repair process, from both experimental and theoretical points of view, and the most probable repair pathways are outlined.

UV induced DNA damage and repair in marine bacteria

TLDR
Preliminary findings suggest that pH has a crucial role in DNA repair system and response varies with bacterial species and decline in pH of the medium is expected to affect the survival of marine bacteria upon UV damage in some bacterial groups.

Repair of DNA Damage Induced by Ultraviolet Radiation

TLDR
The authors' knowledge of DNA repair mechanisms in plants lags far behind their understanding of these pathways in animals, and a significant number of questions concerning the basic phenomenology of DNA Repair in plants remain to be addressed.

Molecular mechanism of nucleotide excision repair.

TLDR
The identification of two complementation groups (CS-A and CS-B) shows that at least two gene products are specifically needed for fast and efficient repair of transcribed strands, and suggests that transcription-coupled repair and/or the CS proteins have functions beyond NER.

TLDR
Homologues of the UVDE enzyme have been found in eukaryotic microorganisms, as well as in bacteria, indicating that the enzyme originated early in evolution, and suggesting the existence of multirepair systems for UV‐induced DNA damage during early evolution.

The Induction and Repair of DNA Photodamage in the Environment

TLDR
Understanding of the molecular events that determine biological effects of UVR in complex higher eukaryotes is far from complete.

The DNA damage spectrum produced by simulated sunlight.

TLDR
It is concluded that cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers are at least 20 to 40 times more frequent than any other DNA photoproduct when DNA or cells are irradiated with simulated sunlight.

REPAIR OF UV LIGHT INDUCED DNA LESIONS : A COMPARATIVE STUDY WITH MODEL COMPOUNDS

TLDR
DNA photolyases were shown to be able to repair UV light lesions of DNA within a DNA single strand and the ability to mimic the repair reaction with small model compounds allowed the development of flavin cofactor functionalized oligo-peptides.

Origin of ultraviolet damage in DNA.

Dark-repair of ultraviolet-induced pyrimidine dimers in the DNA of wild carrot protoplasts

TLDR
In cultured wild carrot cells, pyrimidine dimers can be excised in the dark and that the extent of dimer excision depends on the initial number of dimers induced by the ultraviolet dose.

An alternative eukaryotic DNA excision repair pathway

TLDR
It is proposed that the SPDE-dependent DNA repair pathway is the second DNA excision repair process present in S. pombe and the resulting double mutant was much more sensitive to UV radiation than either single mutant.

A novel role for DNA photolyase: binding to DNA damaged by drugs is associated with enhanced cytotoxicity in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

TLDR
It is demonstrated that in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, photolyase also binds to DNA damaged by the anticancer drugs cis-diamminedichloroplatinum and nitrogen mustard and by the alkylating agent N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine.
