Photolyases and blue light receptors belong to a superfamily of flavoproteins that make use of blue and UVA light either to catalyze DNA repair or to control development. We have isolated a DNA photolyase gene (phr1) from Trichoderma harzianum, a common soil fungus that is of interest as a biocontrol agent against soil-borne plant pathogens and as a model for the study of light-dependent development. The sequence of phr1 is similar to other Class I Type I eukaryotic photolyase genes. Low fluences of blue light rapidly induced phr1 expression both in vegetative mycelia, which lack photoprotective pigments, and, to a greater extent, in conidiophores. Thus, visible light induces the development of pigmented, resistant spores as well as the expression of phr1, perhaps announcing in this way the imminent exposure to the more damaging short wavelengths of sunlight. Light induction of phr1 in non-sporulating mutants shows that a complete sporulation pathway is not required for photoregulation. The light requirements for photoinduction of phr1 were not altered in dimY photoperception mutants. This suggests that photoinduction of sporulation and of photolyase expression is distinct in their photoreceptor system or in the transduction of the blue light signal.
