Abstract

Protecting fungal cells from damage from solar UVB irradiation is critical for development and application of fungal insecticides but is mechanistically not understood in Beauveria bassiana , a classic insect pathogen. We unveil that two intranuclear photolyases, Phr1 and Phr2, play essential roles in repairing UVB-induced dsDNA lesions through respective decomposition of cytotoxic cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers and (6-4)-pyrimidine-pyrimidine photoproducts, hence reactivating UVB-inactivated cells effectively under visible light. Our findings shed light on the high potential of both photolyase genes for use in improving UVB resistance and application strategy of fungal insecticides.
