Photoreactivation of cyclobutane dimers and (6-4) photoproducts in the epidermis of the marsupial, Monodelphis domestica.

Radioimmunoassays were used to investigate the repair of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers and pyrimidine (6-4)pyrimidone photoproducts ((6-4] photoproducts) in the epidermis of the South American opossum, Monodelphis domestica. In the absence of photoreactivating light, both types of photodamage were excised with similar kinetics, 50% of the damage remaining 8 h after UV irradiation in vivo. Exposure of UV-irradiated skin to photoreactivating light resulted in removal of most of the cyclobutane dimers and an enhanced rate of (6-4) photoproduct repair. Photoenhanced excision repair of non-dimer damage increases the range of biologically effective lesions removed by in vivo photoreactivation.[1]
