Research ArticleGuanine Quadruplex DNA Regulates Gamma Radiation Response of Genome Functions in the Radioresistant Bacterium Deinococcus radioduransDeinococcus radiodurans can recover from extensive DNA damage caused by many genotoxic agents. It lacks LexA/RecA-mediated canonical SOS response. Therefore, the molecular mechanisms underlying the regulation of DNA damage response would be worth investigating in this bacterium. D. radiodurans...
Research ArticleExperimental Evolution of Extreme Resistance to Ionizing Radiation in Escherichia coli after 50 Cycles of SelectionSome bacterial species exhibit astonishing resistance to ionizing radiation, with Deinococcus radiodurans being the archetype. As natural IR sources rarely exceed mGy levels, the capacity of Deinococcus to survive 5,000 Gy has been attributed to desiccation resistance. To understand the molecular basis of true extreme IR resistance, we are using experimental...
