This study identifies an operon-driven phospho-regulatory module in Deinococcus radiodurans that balances kinase and phosphatase activities through domain interactions.

This study investigates the role of natural transformation in DNA repair and nutrition of stressed Deinococcus radiodurans, showing dual functionality of NT-specific genes in survival under DNA damage.

This study characterizes DrDprA in Deinococcus radiodurans, showing its unique domain organization, DNA binding properties, and role in RecA-mediated strand exchange during natural transformation.

This study identifies the WD40 domain of RqkA as critical for its kinase activity and radioresistance in D. radiodurans, showing its role in PQQ-mediated activation and substrate phosphorylation.
