RA Copeland A., Lucas S., Lapidus A., Barry K., Detter J.C., RA Glavina del Rio T., Hammon N., Israni S., Dalin E., Tice H., RA Pitluck S., Sims D., Brettin T., Bruce D., Han C., Tapia R., Gilna P., RA Schmutz J., Larimer F., Land M., Hauser L., Kyrpides N., RA Mikhailova N., Oremland R.S., Hoeft S.E., Switzer-Blum J., Kulp T., RA King G., Tabita R., Witte B., Santini J.M., Basu P., Hollibaugh J.T., RA Xie G., Stolz J.F., Richardson P.; RT "Complete sequence of Alkalilimnicola ehrilichei MLHE-1."; RL Submitted (AUG-2006) to the EMBL/GenBank/DDBJ databases. CC -!- FUNCTION: Represses a number of genes involved in the response to CC DNA damage (SOS response), including recA and lexA. In the CC presence of single-stranded DNA, recA interacts with lexA causing CC an autocatalytic cleavage which disrupts the DNA-binding part of CC lexA, leading to derepression of the SOS regulon and eventually CC DNA repair (By similarity). CC -!- CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: Hydrolysis of Ala-|-Gly bond in repressor CC lexA. CC -!- SUBUNIT: Homodimer (By similarity). CC -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the peptidase S24 family.
