Cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPD), as a common DNA damage caused by UV radiation, often lead to skin cancer. Here, we identified a photolyase from the algaArthrospira platensis(designated asAp‐phr), which has been regarded as a safe organism for humans for centuries, that can efficiently repair CPD lesions in ssDNA and dsDNAin vitro. The 1.6 Å resolution crystal structure ofAp‐phr revealed that it possesses a unique methenyltetrahydrofolate chromophore‐binding pattern with high energy transfer efficiency. Our study ofAp‐phr highlights its potential use in cosmetic, industrial and aesthetic medicine applications.
