Organism

Brucella suis [Complete proteome] [HAMAP]

Taxonomic identifier

29461 [NCBI]

Taxonomic lineage

Bacteria › Proteobacteria › Alphaproteobacteria › Rhizobiales › Brucellaceae › Brucella

Protein attributes

Sequence length	240 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.
