The Deinococcus protease PprI senses DNA damage by directly interacting with single-stranded DNA
Abstract Bacteria have evolved various response systems to adapt to environmental stress. A protease-based derepression mechanism in response to DNA damage was characterized in Deinococcus, which is controlled by the specific cleavage of repressor DdrO by metallopeptidase PprI (also called IrrE). De...
