An Orc1-2-centered network of DNA damage response in S. islandicus. DNA damage agents yield lesions on DNA that will be converted into double-stranded breaks, which activate the DNA damage signal transduction pathway in this archaeon. Then, the global regulator, Orc1-2 is probably activated by posttranslational modifications, such as phosphorylation and/or acetylation. The activated form of Orc1-2 then recognizes DDRE present in the promoters of DDR genes and activates or represses their expression, including several different cellular processes as well as its own gene. AAA+: ATPases associated with diverse cellular activities; wH: wing-helix DNA binding domain; DDRE: DNA damage-responsive element; BRE: Transcriptional factor B (TFB) recognition element; TATA; TATA box serving as the binding site for TATA-binding protein (TBP); TTS: transcription start site; Ups: UV-responsive pili of Sulfolobus; Ced: Crenarchaeal system for exchange of DNA.
