Figure 1From: The Mre11 protein interacts with both Rad50 and the HerA bipolar helicase and is recruited to DNA following gamma irradiation in the archaeon Sulfolobus acidocaldarius(a) Survival rates of S. acidocaldarius to different doses of gamma rays. For each dose, irradiations were performed under aerobic (broken line) or limited-aerobic (continuous line) conditions. (b) Time course analysis of S. acidocaldarius chromosomal DNA following a 1000 Gy irradiation. DNA content of 108 cells samples, collected after 0, 3, 7 and 24 h of post-irradiation growth, were analyzed by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. C: DNA from mock treated cells collected at time 0. M: MidRange II PFG molecular weight marker (NEB).Back to article page
