Why is it important?
The application of new bioinformatic approaches to find the manganese-proteome and the Protein-protein interaction network
Perspectives
The enhancement of the knowledge about the impact of Mn-binding proteins in DR ability to protect DNA from various damaging agents such as ionizing radiation, UV radiation and oxidative stress

In this study we have investigated the Mn proteome of Deinococcus radiodurans in order to elucidate the molecular mechanism of its extreme radioresistance. Furthermore, the interactome of Mn binding proteins has been unveiled. We have found evidence of the important role of Manganese in ROS scavenging and protein protection, which are key elements in the antioxidant mechanism of Dr.
