PHR — Brassica juncea

Summary

BJUA08G27360S (symbol PHR) on chromosome A08 of Indian mustard (Brassica juncea) encodes a class 2 cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer (CPD) photolyase, a DNA repair enzyme that uses FAD as a cofactor and binds DNA. The gene is associated with photoreactive repair, DNA repair, UV protection, mating, and organogenesis, and its product localises to the nucleus. It has also been linked to heterosis. Related genes in other species connect the family to the enzyme class 4.1.99.3.
