Identifier

RECA

Protein name

RecName: Full=Protein recA; AltName: Full=Recombinase A;

Gene name

recA

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 (By similarity).

SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm (By similarity).

SIMILARITY: Belongs to the recA family.
