Categories containing this gene/protein

DNA repair/ recombination, transcription factors and their control

This gene is a member of the following regulons

LexA regulon

The LexA regulon

The gene

Basic information

  • Locus tag: BSU17850

Phenotypes of a mutant

Database entries

  • DBTBS entry: [1]
  • SubtiList entry: [2]

Additional information

The protein

Basic information/ Evolution

  • Catalyzed reaction/ biological activity: Represses uvrB, dinB, dinC, recA genes and itself by binding to the 14 bp palindromic sequence 5'-CGAACNNNNGTTCG-3'. 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. (according to Swiss-Prot)
  • Protein family: peptidase S24 family (according to Swiss-Prot)
  • Paralogous protein(s):

Extended information on the protein

  • Kinetic information:
