Also known as DNA_recomb/repair_RecA, IPR013765, RecA
RecA is a 38 kilodalton protein essential for the repair and maintenance of DNA in bacteria. Structural and functional homologs to RecA have been found in all kingdoms of life. RecA serves as an archetype for this class of homologous DNA repair proteins. The homologous protein is called RAD51 in eukaryotes and RadA in archaea.

RecA serves as an archetype for this class of homologous DNA repair proteins. The homologous protein is called RAD51 in eukaryotes and RadA in archaea.
RecA has multiple activities, all related to DNA repair. In the bacterial SOS response, it functions as a co-protease in the autocatalytic cleavage of the LexA repressor and the λ repressor.
