Visualization of DNA damage and its repair process in ${it Deinococcus radiodurans}$ by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis

Kikuchi, Masahiro; Narumi, Issei; Kobayashi, Yasuhiko

The most striking feature of the radioresistant bacterium ${it D. radiodurans}$ is that it can mend over 100 double-strand breaks of genomic DNA during post-irradiation incubation. This process can be clearly visualized using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). By a combination of protein synthesis inhibition treatment and PFGE analysis, it was possible to estimate an initial period required for induction of DNA repair proteins (induction time) and a total period required for completing DNA repair (repair time). PFGE is a powerful tool to analyze DNA damage and its repair process.
