The HspR protein functions as a negative regulator of chaperone and protease gene
expression in a diversity of bacteria. Here we have identified, cloned and deleted the …

The sig1 gene, predicted to encode an extracytoplasmic function-type heat shock sigma
factor of Deinococcus radiodurans, has been shown to play a central role in the positive …

An extremophile D. radiodurans encodes a non-cold shock inducible cold shock protein
homolog DR_0907 (also known as PprM). The DR_0907 ORF was deleted by knockout …

Small non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are a class of regulatory molecules, which remain
understudied in bacteria. In the extremophilic bacterium Deinococcus radiodurans, although …

Two genes bearing similarity to alternative sigma factors were identified in the Deinococcus
radiodurans genome sequence and designated sig1 and sig2. These genes were cloned …

To identify the global effects of (p) ppGpp in the gram-positive bacterium Deinococcus
radiodurans, which exhibits remarkable resistance to radiation and other stresses …

HspR is a repressor known to control expression of heat shock operons in a number of
Eubacteria. In mycobacteria and in several other actinobacteria, this protein is synthesized …

Deinococcus radiodurans is a poly-extremophilic organism, capable of tolerating a wide
variety of different stresses, such as gamma/ultraviolet radiation, desiccation, and oxidative …

In Deinococcus radiodurans, there is a unique RecQ homolog (DR1289) with three-tandem
HRDC domains. Deletion of drrecQ resulted in a low doubling rate and sensitivity to …

The D NA d amage r esponse ddrI gene encodes a transcription regulator belonging to the
cAMP receptor protein (CRP) family. Cells devoid of the DdrI protein exhibit a pleiotropic …
