The S-layer protein DR_2577 binds deinoxanthin and under desiccation conditions protect against UV-radiation in Deinococcus radiodurans

Deinococcus radiodurans has the puzzling ability to withstand over a broad range of extreme conditions including high doses of ultraviolet radiation and deep desiccation. This bacterium is surrounded by a surface layer (S-layer) built of a regular repetition of several proteins, assembled to form a...
