Abstract excerpt
The extremely radioresistant bacterium Deinococcus radiodurans encodes a number of function-unknown genes, and some of them involve in the radioresistance. The radiation-inducible gene dr0171 has a recA-like expression pattern in the postirradiation recovery and was also supposed to encode a transcriptional regulator to contribute to the radioresistance. Here, we found that the EGFP-tagged DR0171 proteins...
