Abstract excerpt
The mechanism by which double-strand DNA breaks are repaired in the radiation-resistant bacterium Deinococcus radiodurans is not well understood. This organism lacks the RecBCD helicase/nuclease, which processes broken DNA ends in other bacteria. The RecF pathway is an alternative pathway for recombination and DNA repair in E. coli, when RecBCD is absent due to mutation, and D. radiodurans may rely on enzymes of...
