240016:VSP RS04780
gene id: 240016:VSP_RS04780
uniprot id: P0DOW5
names: Function
names: Similarity
names: Subunit
messages: Belongs to the peptidase S24 family.
messages: Binds the consensus sequence 5'-TGTTC-N(4)-GAACA-3'; some genes have a tandem consensus sequence, at high concentrations their binding is cooperative (PubMed:27489856). Binds to the promoters of a number of genes, including dinB, imuA, lexA, recA, recQ, splB and uvrA (PubMed:27489856). Represses a number of genes involved in the response to DNA damage (SOS response) (By similarity). In the presence of single-stranded DNA, RecA interacts with LexA causing an autocatalytic cleavage which disrupts the DNA-binding part of LexA, leading to derepression of the SOS regulon and eventually DNA repair (By similarity).
messages: Homodimer.
