Topoisomerases are crucial enzymes in genome maintenance that modulate the topological changes during DNA metabolism. Deinococcus radiodurans, a Gram-positive bacterium is characterized by its resistance to many abiotic stresses including gamma radiation. Its multipartite genome encodes both type I and type II topoisomerases.

Deinococcus radiodurans, an extremophile, resistant to many abiotic stresses including ionizing radiation, has 2 type I topoisomerases (drTopo IA and drTopo IB) and one type II topoisomerase (DNA gyrase). The role of drTopo IB in guanine quadruplex DNA (G4 DNA) metabolism was demonstrated earlier in vitro. Here, we report that D.

The Deinococcus radiodurans bacterium is one of the most radioresistant organisms known. It can repair hundreds of radiation-induced DNA double-strand breaks without loss of viability and reconstitute an intact genome through RecA-dependent and RecA-independent DNA repair pathways. Among the Deinococcus specific proteins required for radioresistance, the PprA protein was shown to play a major role for accurate chromosome segregation and cell division after completion of DNA repair.

The gene knockouts are mostly created using homologous recombination-based replacement of target gene(s) with the expressing cassette of selection marker gene(s). Here, we constructed a series of plasmids bearing the expressing cassettes of genes encoding different antibiotics markers like nptII (Kan), aadA (Spec), cat (Cm) and aac(3) (Gen). D.
