Abstract: | <h2>Summary</h2><p>How the environment shapes the function and evolution of DNA repair systems is poorly understood. In a comparative study using zebrafish and the Somalian blind cavefish, <i>Phreatichthys andruzzii</i>, we reveal that during evolution for millions of years in continuous darkness, photoreactivation DNA repair function has been lost in <i>P. andruzzii</i>. We demonstrate that this loss results in part from loss-of-function mutations in pivotal DNA-repair genes. Specifically, C-terminal truncations in <i>P. andruzzii</i> DASH and 6-4 photolyase render these proteins predominantly cytoplasmic, with consequent loss in their functionality. In addition, we reveal a general absence of light-, UV-, and ROS-induced expression of <i>P. andruzzii</i> DNA-repair genes. This results from a loss of function of the D-box enhancer element, which coordinates and enhances DNA repair in response to sunlight. Our results point to <i>P. andruzzii</i> being the only species described, apart from placental mammals, that lacks the highly evolutionary conserved photoreactivation function. We predict that in the DNA repair systems of <i>P. andruzzii</i>, we may be witnessing the first stages in a process that previously occurred in the ancestors of placental mammals during the Mesozoic era.</p> |
