RecA

Protein FULL name:

RecA [Escherichia coli].


RecA (Escherichia coli strain K-12 substr. MG1655) is product of expression of recA gene.


RecA is involved in:

HRR in Escherichia coli strain K-12 substr. MG1655 DDS in Escherichia coli strain K-12 substr. MG1655
     





FUNCTION: Can catalyze the hydrolysis of ATP in the presence of single-stranded DNA, the ATP-dependent uptake of single-stranded DNA by duplex DNA, and the ATP-dependent hybridization of homologous single-stranded DNAs. It interacts with lexA causing its activation and leading to its autocatalytic cleavage.

SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm.

INDUCTION: In response to low temperature. Sensitive to temperature through changes in the linking number of the DNA.

SIMILARITY: Belongs to the recA family.


NCBI GenPept GI number(s): 37362719
Species: Escherichia coli
