Swissprots | P0A7G6 |
Accessions | AAC75741 NP_417179 |
Function | Required for homologous recombination and the bypass of mutagenic DNA lesions by the SOS response. Catalyzes ATP-driven homologous pairing and strand exchange of DNA molecules necessary for DNA recombinational repair. Catalyzes the hydrolysis of ATP in the presence of single-stranded DNA, the ATP-dependent uptake of single-stranded DNA by duplex DNA, and the ATP-dependent hybridization of homologous single-stranded DNAs. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:7608206, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9230304}. |
