Abstract excerpt
Deinococcus radiodurans survives extremely high doses of ionizing and ultraviolet radiation and treatment with various DNA-damaging chemicals. As an effort to identify and characterize proteins that function in DNA repair in this organism, we have studied the protein encoded by locus DR1572. This gene is predicted to encode a Superfamily I DNA helicase, except that genome sequencing indicated that it has a...
