Abstract
gene expression. Due to the importance of DrRRA in regulating DNA repair, this study provides a clue for further analysis of MsrA activity during DNA repair. This study indicates that protecting proteins from oxidation is an effective strategy for extremophiles to adapt to stress conditions.
