Abstract:
The culture liquid of Luteococcus japonicus subsp. casei was found to be able to reactivate cells of this bacterium inactivated by UV irradiation or heat shock. The antistress activity of the culture liquid was due to the presence of an extracellular exometabolite of a protein nature with a molecular mass of more than 10 kDa. When the bacterium was grown in nutrient broth or glucose-containing mineral medium, the antistress protein was secreted by cells in the logarithmic growth phase. The reactivating effect of the antistress protein was inversely proportional to the survival rate of stressed cells.

Nucleotide Excision Repair
Cells are regularly exposed to mutagens—factors in the environment that can damage DNA and generate mutations. UV radiation is one of the most common mutagens and is estimated to introduce a significant number of changes in DNA. These include bends or kinks in the structure, which can block DNA replication or transcription. If these errors are not fixed, the damage can cause mutations, which in turn can result in cancer or disease depending on which sequences are...
