Spatiotemporal dynamics of single-stranded DNA intermediates in Escherichia coli

M. E. Cherry, K. Dubiel, C. Henry, E. A. Wood, S. A. Revitt-Mills, J. Keck, M. M. Cox, A. M. van Oijen, H. Ghodke, A. Robinson

The paper uses fluorescence microscopy to study the spatiotemporal dynamics of single-stranded DNA in live E. coli cells, revealing patterns associated with DNA repair and replication.

Interaction with single-stranded DNA-binding protein modulates Escherichia coli RadD DNA repair activities

M. A. O. Garcia, E. A. Wood, J. L. Keck, M. M. Cox

The paper investigates how RadD interacts with SSB to modulate its ATPase activity and DNA repair functions in E. coli.

Experimental evolution of extremophile levels of radiation resistance in Escherichia coli

S. T. Bruckbauer, B. B. Minkoff, T. Shinohara, A. Lipzen, J. Guo, E. A. Wood, M. R. Sussman, C. Pennacchio, M. M. Cox

This study uses experimental evolution to generate E. coli with radiation resistance similar to Deinococcus radiodurans, revealing multiple genomic and proteomic changes involved in IR resistance.

Modulation of DNA polymerase IV activity by UmuD and RecA* observed by single-molecule time-lapse microscopy

S. S. Henrikus, A. E. McGarth, S. Jergic, M. L. Ritger, P. T. Pham, E. A. Wood, M. F. Goodman, M. M. Cox, A. M. van Oijen, H. Ghodke, A. Robinson

The paper shows UmuD and RecA modulate DNA polymerase IV binding to DNA substrates, with UmuD inhibiting and RecA promoting association, particularly in DNA-damaged cells.

Spatial and temporal organization of RecA in the Escherichia coli DNA-damage response

H. Ghodke, B. Paudel, J. S. Lewis, S. Jergic, K. Gopal, Z. J. Romero, E. A. Wood, R. Woodgate, M. M. Cox, A. M. van Oijen

This study uses a fluorescent probe to track RecA dynamics in live E. coli, showing it is stored during normal metabolism and rapidly mobilizes to form SOS-signaling complexes upon DNA damage.

A hyperactive variant of the Escherichia coli anaerobic transcription factor FNR enhances ionizing radiation resistance

S. T. Bruckbauer, J. D. Trimarco, E. A. Wood, J. R. Battista, M. M. Cox

This study identifies a hyperactive FNR variant in E. coli that contributes to radiation resistance through altered metabolism, distinct from DNA repair mutations in other resistant populations.
