A flavoprotein (FAD). The overall repair reaction consists of two distinct steps, one of which is light-independent and the other one light-dependent. In the initial light-independent step, a 6-iminium ion is thought to be generated via proton transfer induced by two histidines highly conserved among the (6-4) photolyases.

In the subsequent light-driven reaction, one electron is believed to be transferred from the fully reduced FAD cofactor (FADH-) to the oxetane intermediate thus forming a neutral FADH radical and an anionic oxetane radical, which spontaneously fractures.

(6-4) photoproduct (in DNA) = 2 pyrimidine residues (in DNA)
reaction mechanism of repair of (6-4) lesions by (6-4) photolyase, detailed overview. The repair-active redox state of the FAD cofactor is fully reduced FADH- and (6-4) PP-containing substrates are bound in a specific manner

ultrafast spectroscopy is used to show that the key step in the repair photocycle is a cyclic proton transfer between the enzyme and the substrate. By femtosecond synchronization of the enzymatic dynamics with the repair function, direct electron transfer from the excited flavin cofactor to the 6-4 photoproduct is observed in 225 ps but fast back electron transfer in 50 ps without repair. The catalytic proton transfer between a histidine residue in the active site and the 6-4 photoproduct, induced by the initial photoinduced electron transfer from the excited flavin cofactor to 6-4 photoproduct, occurs in 425 ps and leads to 6-4 photoproduct repair in tens of nanoseconds

(6-4) photoproduct pyrimidine-lyase
A flavoprotein (FAD). The overall repair reaction consists of two distinct steps, one of which is light-independent and the other one light-dependent. In the initial light-independent step, a 6-iminium ion is thought to be generated via proton transfer induced by two histidines highly conserved among the (6-4) photolyases. This intermediate spontaneously rearranges to form an oxetane intermediate by intramolecular nucleophilic attack. In the subsequent light-driven reaction, one electron is believed to be transferred from the fully reduced FAD cofactor (FADH-) to the oxetane intermediate thus forming a neutral FADH radical and an anionic oxetane radical, which spontaneously fractures. The excess electron is then back-transferred to the flavin radical restoring the fully reduced flavin cofactor and a pair of pyrimidine bases [2].
analysis of the repair of a T(6-4)T lesion by the (6-4) PL of Arabidopsis thaliana (At64) by ultrafast fluorescence and transient absorption spectroscopy between 315 and 800 nm. About 90% of the FADH- radicals formed by this primary electron transfer are re-reduced very quickly
Resonance Raman spectra of (6-4) photolyase having neutral semiquinoid and oxidized forms of FAD. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations are carried out on the neutral semiquinone. The marker band of a neutral semiquinone at 1606 cm-1 in H2O, splits into two comparable bands at 1594 and 1608 cm-1 in D2O, and similarly, that at 1522 cm-1 in H2O does into three bands at 1456, 1508, and 1536 cm-1 in D2O. This D2O effect is recognized only after being oxidized once and photoreduced to form a semiquinone again, but not by simple H/D exchange of solvent. Some Raman bands of the oxidized form are observed at significantly low frequencies (1621, 1576 cm-1) and with band splittings (1508/1493, 1346/1320 cm-1). These Raman spectral characteristics indicate strong H-bonding interactions (at N5-H, N1), a fairly hydrophobic environment, and an electron-lacking feature in benzene ring of the FAD cofactor, which seems to specifically control the reactivity of (6-4) photolyase
exposure of DNA to ultraviolet (UV) light from the sun or from other sources causes the formation of harmful and carcinogenic crosslinks between adjacent pyrimidine nucleobases, namely cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers and pyrimidine(6-4)pyrimidone photoproducts. Unique flavoenzymes, called DNA photolyases, utilize blue light, that is photons of lower energy than those of the damaging light, to repair these lesions. The chemically challenging repair of the (6-4) photoproducts by (6-4) photolyase and reaction mechanisms, overview

light-dependent repair of UV-induced (6-4) photoproducts is investigated in an excision repair-deficient Arabidopsis mutant. It is demonstrated that (6-4) photoproducts are efficiently eliminated in a light-dependent manner which occurs in the presence of blue light (435 nm) but not upon exposure to light of longer wavelengths
