Abstract excerpt
The multipartite genome of Deinococcus radiodurans forms toroidal structure. It encodes topoisomerase IB and both the subunits of DNA gyrase (DrGyr) while lacks other bacterial topoisomerases. Recently, PprA a pleiotropic protein involved in radiation resistance in D. radiodurans has been suggested for having roles in cell division and genome maintenance. In vivo interaction of PprA with topoisomerases has also...
