Abstract excerpt
We previously reported that some Deinococcus radiodurans mutants are sensitive to DNA interstrand cross-linking agents but resistant to UV and gamma-rays. We isolated DNA fragments from a D. radiodurans genomic library which complemented the mitomycin C sensitivity of one of these mutants. One 3.2kb-long fragment contains an open reading frame of approximately 700bp and the deduced amino acid sequence is very...
