Spore photoproduct within DNA is a surprisingly poor substrate for its designated repair enzyme – the spore photoproduct lyase

DNA repair enzymes typically recognize their substrate lesions with high affinity to ensure efficient lesion repair. In UV irradiated endospores, a special thymine dimer, 5-thyminyl-5,6-dihydrothymine, termed the spore photoproduct (SP), is the dominant DNA photolesion, which is rapidly repaired dur...
