DNA metabolism in extremophiles Structure-function studies of proteins involved in DNA repair and replication from Aliivibrio salmonicida and Deinococcus radiodurans
Lian, Kjersti (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2015-06-16)Deinococcus radiodurans is a gram-positive bacterium with a pink-orange colour first isolated in canned meat. The bacteria is remarkable amongst all species studied to date by its unusual ability to repair hundreds of radiation induced DNA double strand breaks where normal species can only repair a dozen. Our studies of the DNA polymerase III β-subunit (β-clamp) and Exonuclease III from D. radiodurans ...
