Recommended name:
LexA repressor
EC=3.4.21.88

Gene names

Name:	lexA
Ordered Locus Names:	BC_3690

Organism

Bacillus cereus (strain ATCC 14579 / DSM 31)

Taxonomic identifier

226900 [NCBI]

Taxonomic lineage

Bacteria › Firmicutes › Bacillales › Bacillaceae › Bacillus › Bacillus cereus group

Protein attributes

Sequence length	206 AA.
Sequence status	Complete.
Protein existence	Inferred from homology

General annotation (Comments)

Function	Represses a number of genes involved in the response to DNA damage (SOS response), including recA and lexA. 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 By similarity. HAMAP MF_00015
Catalytic activity	Hydrolysis of Ala-|-Gly bond in repressor lexA. HAMAP MF_00015
Subunit structure	Homodimer By similarity. HAMAP MF_00015
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the peptidase S24 family.
Sequence caution	The sequence AAP10619.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Erroneous initiation.
