Loss of small, acid-soluble spore protein alpha reduced spore UV resistance 30- to 50-fold in Bacillus subtilis strains deficient in pyrimidine dimer repair, but gave only a 5- to 8-fold reduction in UV resistance in repair-proficient strains. However, both repair-proficient and -deficient spores lacking this protein had identical heat and gamma-radiation resistance.
在嘧啶二聚体修复缺陷的枯草芽孢杆菌菌株中,小的酸溶性芽孢蛋白α的缺失使芽孢的紫外线抗性降低了30至50倍,但在修复能力正常的菌株中,紫外线抗性仅降低了5至8倍。然而,缺乏这种蛋白质的修复能力正常和缺陷的芽孢具有相同的耐热性和γ辐射抗性。
