| Research Abstract |
Two DNA ligase (DR2069, DRB0100) are identified in a genome of Deinococcus radiodurans.
As a result of analysis, DR2069 was able to confirm DNA ligase activity, but DRB0100 was not able to confirm the DNA ligase activity.
On the other hand, we carried out a crystallographic analysis of the DdrA protein which protected DNA from digestive enzymes before ligation with the DNA ligase and succeeded in crystallization and a diffraction data collection.
Diffraction data were collected to 2.10 Å resolution and structural analysis are carrying out now.
