Recent advances in the area of bacterial DNA damage responses are reviewed here. The
SOS pathway is still the major paradigm of bacterial DNA damage response, and recent …

The homeostasis of extremophiles is one that is a diamond hidden in the rough. The way
extremophiles adapt to their extreme environments gives a clue into the true extent of what is …

D einococcus bacteria are famous for their extreme radiation tolerance. The IrrE protein was
shown to be essential for radiation tolerance and, in an unelucidated manner, for induction …

Both prokaryotes and eukaryotes have pyramid-shaped hierarchical regulatory networks
that control gene transcription, enabling the cell to respond to natural environmental …

Stress tolerance is a vital attribute for all living beings to cope with environmental
adversities. IrrE (also named PprI) from Deinococcus radiodurans enhances resistance to …

The extremophilic bacterium Deinococcus radiodurans exhibits an extraordinary resistance
to ionizing radiation. Previous studies established that a protein named PprI, which exists …

The deleterious effects of ionizing radiation are a major concern of the modern world. In the
last decades, outstanding interest has been given to developing new therapeutic tools …

Deinococcus deserti is a desiccation-and radiation-tolerant desert bacterium. Differential
RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) was performed to explore the specificities of its transcriptome …

Abstract Dendrobium officinale Kimura et Migo (D. officinale) is a famous traditional Chinese
medicine (TCM). A mixture of D. officinale and American ginseng has been shown to …

Bacteria have evolved various response systems to adapt to environmental stress. A
protease-based derepression mechanism in response to DNA damage was characterized in …
