    Phenotypes of a mutant

  • slower growth [Pubmed|26930481]
  • drastically reduced survival of mature dormant spores after exposure to ultrahigh vacuum desiccation and ionizing radiation that induce single strand (ss) DNA nicks and double-strand breaks (DSBs) [Pubmed|24285298]
  • reduced [SW|sporulation] efficiency [Pubmed|26930481]
  • strongly reduced chromosomal transformation rate [Pubmed|23779106,22373918]
  • no amplification of the [gene|44DF1B7E476AD58B3CCC39300FFE0132D0D32AD0|gltA]-[gene|AA07CC52B2DD48ACC9D3375E9D531CB1ACBE485A|gltB] chromosomal region to suppress the glutamate auxotrophy of a [gene|87BCAE725B02860156D50E1783F6DB68510C811E|gltC] mutant [pubmed|28294562]

    • The protein

    Catalyzed reaction/ biological activity

  • RecA stimulates ssDNA phosphorylase activity of [protein|64C6D783FF3F41C81B216F798A1DC8071345B1ED|PnpA] [Pubmed|21859751]

    • Effectors of protein activity

  • [protein|80E6F156764FF30300D034EE6FB44F2DB8338AF3|RecO] and [protein|FC53216F600994C862F0C0D017C3FA28EB75DCB6|DprA] provide [protein|A44D4677FB70BE8F554BF1001A500F817C7DA95F|RecA] access to ssDNA during chromosomal transformation [Pubmed|22373918]

    • Structure

  • [PDB|1U94] (RecA from ''E. coli'', 62% identity, 86% similarity)

    • [SW|Localization]

  • colocalizes to the [SW|replisome] in response to endogenous and exogenous DNA damage and in response to damage-independent fork arrest (formation of DNA repair centers), repair center formation depends on [protein|80E6F156764FF30300D034EE6FB44F2DB8338AF3|RecO] and [protein|BEBAF1EB53EBB3E7558BB5FE73C418B50000FA29|RecR], and is facilitated by [protein|EBE03AEC7EC594A3115A7A72194BDFF300AA0BFA|RecF] and [protein|8DE39680CA7663803A107066FBE9AFFCC77DB72A|SsbA] [Pubmed|24891441]
  • Nucleoid (Mid-cell) [Pubmed|16479537]
  • localizes to one cell pole [Pubmed|21278288]
  • co-localizes with the DNA uptake machinery [Pubmed|17630974]
  • forms a transient, mobile focus associated with the chromosome during spore development [Pubmed|23634894]
