The protein

Catalyzed reaction/ biological activity

• RecN stimulates polymerizing activity of [protein|64C6D783FF3F41C81B216F798A1DC8071345B1ED|PnpA] [Pubmed|21859751]

Protein family

• recN family (single member, according to UniProt)

Structure

• [PDB|4AD8] (from Deinococcus radiodurans, 30% identity) [pubmed|23085075]

[SW|Localization]

• nucleoid (multiple) [Pubmed|16479537]
• evenly distributed in growing cells [Pubmed|21859751]
• upon DNA damage, RecN forms a single focus per nucleoid [Pubmed|21859751], recruitment is affected by the presence of [protein|A3A2EF3C95B833A11843553107D781EDEFF0BC41|fumarase] [pubmed|29140245]
