Using ethidium fluorescence as a probe and the unique topological properties of covalently closed circular (CCC) DNA's, picogram quantities of pancreatic DNase I can be detected. By chemically modifying CCC DNA's without the introduction of nicks, various DNA repair enzymes can be detected even in crude cell extracts. This has previously been done for AP endonucleases from yeast. In this paper we describe the formation of ultraviolet (UV) and bisulfite modified CCC DNA's for the detection of T4 UV endonuclease (a DNA glycosylase + AP endonuclease) and uracil-DNA glycosylases, respectively. These assays should be useful in the isolation of DNA repair mutants.

AbstractDrosophila, Arabidopsis, Synechocystis, human (DASH)-type cryptochromes (cry-DASHs) form one subclade of the cryptochrome/photolyase family (CPF). CPF members are flavoproteins that act as DNA-repair enzymes (DNA-photolyases), or as ultraviolet(UV)-A/blue light photoreceptors (cryptochromes). In mammals, cryptochromes are essential components of the circadian clock feed-back loop. Cry-DASHs are present in almost all major taxa and were initially considered as photoreceptors. Later studies demonstrated DNA-repair activity that was, however, restricted to UV-lesions in single-stranded DNA. Very recent studies, particularly on microbial organisms, substantiated photoreceptor functions of cry-DASHs suggesting that they could be transitions between photolyases and cryptochromes.
