Holliday junction DNA helicase; The RuvA-RuvB complex in the presence of ATP renatures cruciform structure in supercoiled DNA with palindromic sequence, indicating that it may promote strand exchange reactions in homologous recombination. RuvAB is a helicase that mediates the Holliday junction migration by localized denaturation and reannealing. RuvA stimulates, in the presence of DNA, the weak ATPase activity of RuvB.

DNA repair and genetic recombination factor; The RecF protein is involved in DNA metabolism; it is required for DNA replication and normal SOS inducibility. RecF binds preferentially to single-stranded, linear DNA. It also seems to bind ATP. Is recruited to repair centers, foci that are the site of double- strand DNA break(s) after RecN and RecO; recruitment may depend on RecO.

Putative single-strand DNA-specific exonuclease; Putative single-stranded-DNA-specific exonuclease (By similarity). RecA thread formation during DNA double-strand break repair requires RecJ or AadAB; Belongs to the RecJ family.

DNA double strand break repair and homologous recombination factor; Plays a role in DNA double-stranded break repair. It seems to be involved in an RecBC-independent recombinational process of DNA repair. It may act with RecF and RecR. Is recruited to repair centers, foci that are the site of double-strand break(s) after RecN and before RecF; may actively recruit RecF.

Branch migrating ATP-dependent DNA helicase involved in DNA recombination and repair; Critical role in recombination and DNA repair. Helps process Holliday junction intermediates to mature products by catalyzing branch migration. Has a DNA unwinding activity characteristic of a DNA helicase with a 3'- to 5'- polarity. Unwinds branched duplex DNA (Y- DNA) (By similarity); Belongs to the helicase family. RecG subfamily.

Multifunctional SOS repair factor; Multifunctional protein involved in homologous recombination, DNA repair and competence. Can catalyze the hydrolysis of (d)ATP in the presence of single-stranded DNA; prefers dATP at least in vitro, catalyzes the dATP-dependent uptake of single- stranded DNA by duplex DNA, and the dATP-dependent hybridization of homologous single-stranded DNAs (strand exchange). RecA-ATP cannot catalyze homologous DNA strand exchange; SsbA and DprA activate strand exchange by RecA-ATP. It interacts with LexA causing its activation and leading to its autocatalytic clea [...]

Peptidoglycan glycosyltransferase (penicillin-binding proteins 1A and 1B); Cell wall formation. Synthesis of cross-linked peptidoglycan from the lipid intermediates. The enzyme has a penicillin-insensitive transglycosylase N-terminal domain (formation of linear glycan strands) and a penicillin-sensitive transpeptidase C-terminal domain (cross- linking of the peptide subunits).

ATP-dependent DNA helicase; Probable DNA helicase. Required in synaptic and/or post- synaptic stages of recombination. Probably has overlapping function with RecQ (AC O34748). It probably acts to help generate ss-DNA from ds-DNA breaks.

Holliday junction DNA helicase, ATP-dependent component; The RuvA-RuvB complex in the presence of ATP renatures cruciform structure in supercoiled DNA with palindromic sequence, indicating that it may promote strand exchange reactions in homologous recombination. RuvAB is a helicase that mediates the Holliday junction migration by localized denaturation and reannealing (By similarity). Stimulates the resolution of Holliday junctions by RecU.
