Abstract excerpt
The RecQ family of DNA helicases performs essential functions in the maintenance of genomic stability in all organisms. In Deinococcus radiodurans, DR1289 is a special member of RecQ family with unique arrangement of three tandem HRDC domains in the C-terminus. A dr1289 mutant is hypersensitive to gamma-irradiation, UV, H2O2 and mitomycin C. By complementing the dr1289 mutant with various domains of Dr1289 in...
