Represses ''[[gene|uvrB]], [[gene|bstG]], [[gene|tagC]], [[gene|recA]]'' genes and itself by binding to the 14 bp palindromic sequence 5'-CGAACNNNNGTTCG-3'. In the presence of single-stranded DNA, [[protein|RecA]] interacts with [[protein|LexA]] causing an autocatalytic cleavage which disrupts the DNA-binding part of [[protein|LexA]], leading to derepression of the SOS regulon and eventually DNA repair. (according to Swiss-Prot)
