Abstract excerpt
RecA protein is essential for the very high level of resistance of Deinococcus radiodurans to DNA damage induced by ionizing radiation or other DNA-damaging agents. Since the mechanism(s) involved in the control of recA expression and the extent of RecA induction following DNA damage in this species are still unclear, we have performed a genetic analysis of the recA locus and quantified the basal and induced...
