Abstract excerpt
Deinococcus radiodurans is a bacterium which can survive extremely DNA damage. To investigate the relationship between recQ and the ultraviolet radiation (UV) damage repair pathway, we created a four mutant strain by constructing recQ knockout mutants in uvrA1, uvrA2, and uvsE backgrounds. Using the rpoB/Rif(r) system, we measured the mutation frequencies and rates in wild type, recQ (MQ), uvsE uvrA1 uvrA2...
