Genetic analysis of novel DNA cross-link repair genes common to ${it Deinococcus}$ and ${it Thermus}$

Onodera, Takefumi*; Sato, Katsuya; Ota, Toshihiro*; Narumi, Issey*

The ${it ygjD}$ and ${it yeaZ}$ orthologs are highly conserved in eubacteria, and the former is also widely found in the genomes of archaea and eukaryotes. However, their functions are still poorly understood. ${it Deinococcus radiodurans}$ and ${it Thermus thermophilus}$ possess the both orthologs hereafter ${it DrygjD}$, ${it DryeaZ}$, ${it TtygjD}$ and ${it TtyeaZ}$, respectively. We have reported that the ${it DrygjD}$ and ${it DryeaZ}$ disruptants show extreme sensitivity to mitomycin C (MMC), which causes interstrand DNA cross-links. In this study, we constructed ${it TtygjD}$ and ${it TtyeaZ}$ gene expression plasmids and the resultant plasmids were introduced into the ${it DrygjD}$ and ${it DryeaZ}$ disruptant strains. To investigate whether ${it ygjD}$ and ${it yeaZ}$ orthologs share the common function in ${it D. radiodurans}$ and ${it T. thermophilus}$, these generated strains were challenged by MMC.
