Journal of Plant Physiology, 161(10), p.1101 - 1106, 2004/10

The resistance of ${it Euglena gracilis}$ strains Z (wild type) and SM-ZK (chloroplast-deficient mutant) to ionizing radiation was investigated. The colony forming ability of ${it E. gracilis}$ strain Z was higher than that of strain SM-ZK after $$gamma$$-irradiation. For both strains, the resistance of light-grown cells was higher than that of dark-grown cells, suggesting that the light conditions during the culture contribute to the radiation resistance of ${it E. gracilis}$. The comet assay showed that the ability of rejoining DNA double-strand breaks (dsb) was much higher in the light-grown cells. These results suggest that ${it E. gracilis}$ possesses a light-induced repair system to cope with DNA dsb.

PprI: A General switch responsible for extreme radioresistance of ${it Deinococcus radiodurans}$

Hua, Y.*; Narumi, Issei; Gao, G.*; Tian, B.*; Sato, Katsuya; Kitayama, Shigeru; Shen, B.*

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 306(2), p.354 - 360, 2003/06

 Times Cited Count:152 Percentile:95.78(Biochemistry & Molecular Biology)

We have identified a unique deinococcal gene, ${it pprI}$, as a general switch for downstream DNA repair and protection pathways, from a natural mutant, in which ${it pprI}$ is disrupted by a transposon. Complete functional disruption of the gene in wild-type leads to dramatic sensitivity to ionizing radiation. Radioresistance of the disruptant could be fully restored by complementation with ${it pprI}$. In response to radiation stress, PprI can significantly and specifically induce the gene expression of ${it recA}$ and ${it pprA}$ and enhance the enzyme activities of catalases. These results strongly suggest that PprI plays a crucial role in regulating multiple DNA repair and protection pathways in response to radiation stress.

Posttranslational modification of the ${it umuD}$-encoded subunit of ${it Escherichia coli}$ DNA polymerase V regulates its interactions with the $$beta$$ processivity clamp

Sutton, M. D.*; Narumi, Issei; Walker, G. C.*

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 99(8), p.5307 - 5312, 2002/04

The ${it Escherichia coli umuDC}$ gene products (PolV) participate in both a DNA damage checkpoint control and translesion DNA synthesis. Interactions of the two ${it umuD}$ gene products, UmuD and UmuD' proteins, with components of the replicative DNA polymerase (PolIII), are important for determining which biological role the ${it umuDC}$ gene products will play. We have shown that UmuD possesses a higher affinity for PolIII $$beta$$ processivity clamp than does UmuD' because of the N-terminal arm of UmuD, much of which is missing in UmuD'. Futhermore, we identified specific amino acid residues of UmuD that crosslink to $$beta$$ with a crosslinker, ${it p}$-azidoiodoacetanilide, defining the domain important for the interaction.

Recognition of DNA damage and induction of repair proteins in ${it Deinococcus radiodurans}$

Sato, Katsuya; Kikuchi, Masahiro; Narumi, Issei

JAERI-Conf 2002-005, p.172 - 184, 2002/03

${it Deinococcus radiodurans possesses}$ a DNA damage response mechanism. However, the damage response is poorly understood in ${it D. radiodurans}$. By investigating the function of deinococcal proteins, we found that, unlike in ${it E. coli}$, LexA is not involved in the regulation of RecA in ${it D. radiodurans}$. This, in turn, led us to speculate that ${it D. radiodurans}$ has an alternative DNA damage response mechanism with which to control ${it recA}$ expression. Recently, we discovered that a novel protein regulates the expression of ${it recA}$ gene. The novel regulatory protein (designated as PprI) also control the induction of ${it pprA}$ gene following $$gamma$$ irradiation. Thus, ${it D. radiodurans}$ possesses unique mechanisms of DNA damage recognition and repair gene induction.

The LexA protein from ${it Deinococcus radiodurans}$ is not involved in RecA induction following $$gamma$$ irradiation

Journal of Bacteriology, 183(23), p.6951 - 6956, 2001/12

The involvement of LexA in induction of RecA was investigated in ${it Deinococcus radiodurans}$. As in the wild-type strain, an increase in RecA protein synthesis following $$gamma$$ irradiation was detected in a ${it lexA}$ disruptant, indicating that LexA is not involved in the induction of RecA in ${it D. radiodurans}$.
