Down-regulation of radioresistance by LexA2 in ${it Deinococcus radiodurans}$

Sato, Katsuya; Oba, Hirofumi; Sghaier, H.; Narumi, Issei

In an effort to gain an insight into the role of LexA2 in the radiation response mechanism, ${it lexA2}$ disruptant strain was generated and investigated. The ${it lexA2}$ disruptant strains exhibited a much higher resistance to $$gamma$$ rays than the wild-type strain. Furthermore, a luciferase assay showed that ${it pprA}$ promoter activation was enhanced in the ${it lexA2}$ disruptant strain following $$gamma$$ irradiation. The increase in radioresistance of the ${it lexA2}$ disruptant strain is explained in part by the enhancement of ${it pprA}$ promoter activation.
