Photolyases are flavoenzymes responsible for light-driven repair of carcinogenic crosslinks formed in DNA by UV exposure. They possess two non-covalently bound chromophores: flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) as a catalytic center and an auxiliary antenna chromophore that harvests photons and transfers solar energy to the catalytic center. Although the energy transfer reaction has been characterized by time-resolved spectroscopy, it is strikingly important to understand how well natural biological systems organize the chromophores for the efficient energy transfer. Here, we comprehensively characterized the binding of 8-hydroxy-7,8-didemethyl-5-deazariboflavin (8-HDF) to Xenopus (6-4) photolyase. In silico simulations indicated that a hydrophobic amino acid residue located at the entrance of the binding site dominates translocation of a loop upon binding of 8-HDF, and a mutation of this residue caused dysfunction of the efficient energy transfer in the DNA repair reaction. Mutational analyses of the protein combined with modification of the chromophore suggested that Coulombic interactions between positively charged residues in the protein and the phenoxide moiety in 8-HDF play a key role in accommodation of 8-HDF in the proper direction. This study provides a clear evidence that Xenopus (6-4) photolyase can utilize 8-HDF as the light-harvesting chromophore. The obtained new insights into binding of the natural antenna molecule will be helpful for the development of artificial light-harvesting chromophores and future characterization of the energy transfer in (6-4) photolyase by spectroscopic studies.
