''Deinococcus radiodurans'' Manganese Transporter, MntH

Deinococcus radiodurans is an extremely radiation-resistant bacterium: while about 10 Gy (absorbed radiation dose, Gray) can kill most vertebrates, D. radiodurans can withstand up to 12,000 Gy. Current literature supports this finding with D. radiodurans’ unique genetic makeup which allows it to better handle radiation exposure. Manganese is a cofactor for many of the radiation stress mechanisms in the cell, and so manganese transporters bring manganese into the cell during radiation stress. These transporters are particularly well-known in D. radiodurans, and expressing these proteins in E. coli has shown promise (Haiyan and Baoming 2010).
