ABSTRACT Light quality is a significant factor for living organisms that have photosensory systems, such as rhodopsin, a seven alpha-helical transmembrane protein with the retinal chromophore. Here, we report, for the first time, the function of new rhodopsin, which is an inverted 7-transmembrane protein, isolated from Trichococcus flocculiformis. T. flocculiformis heliorhodopsin (TfHeR) works as a regulatory helper rhodopsin that binds with class 2 cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer (CPDII) photolyase to broaden the spectrum and upregulate DNA repair activity. We have confirmed their interaction through isothermal titration calorimetry (dissociation constant of 21.7 μM) and identified the charged residues for the interaction. Based on in vivo and in vitro experiments, we showed that the binding of heliorhodopsin with photolyase improved photolyase activity by about 3-fold to repair UV-caused DNA damage. Also, the DNA repair activity of TfHeR/T. flocculiformis photolyase (TfPHR) was observed in the presence of green light. Our results suggested that heliorhodopsin directly controls the activity of photolyase and coevolves to broaden the activity spectrum by protein-protein interaction. IMPORTANCE This study reports a function for Heliorhodopsin working as a regulatory helper rhodopsin that with CPDII photolyase to broaden the spectrum and upregulating the DNA repair activity. Our results suggested that heliorhodopsin directly controls photolyase activity and coevolves to broaden the DNA repair capacity by protein-protein interaction. |
