STRINGSTRING
STRING protein interaction network
Nodes:
Network nodes represent proteins
splice isoforms or post-translational modifications are collapsed, i.e. each node represents all the proteins produced by a single, protein-coding gene locus.
Node Color
colored nodes:
query proteins and first shell of interactors
white nodes:
second shell of interactors
Node Content
empty nodes:
proteins of unknown 3D structure
filled nodes:
a 3D structure is known or predicted
Edges:
Edges represent protein-protein associations
associations are meant to be specific and meaningful, i.e. proteins jointly contribute to a shared function; this does not necessarily mean they are physically binding to each other.
Known Interactions
from curated databases
experimentally determined
Predicted Interactions
gene neighborhood
gene fusions
gene co-occurrence
Others
textmining
co-expression
protein homology

recNFactor for double strand breaks DNA repair and genetic recombination; Involved in recombinational repair of damaged DNA. Seems to be the first protein recruited to repair centers, foci that are the site of double-strand DNA break(s), followed by RecO and then RecF. (576 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
recA
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 [...]

recJ
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.
 
  
 0.965
recF
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.
  
  
 0.961
lexA
Transcriptional repressor of the SOS regulon; Represses dinA, dinB, dinC, recA genes and itself by binding to the 14 bp palindromic sequence 5'-CGAACNNNNGTTCG-3'; some genes have a tandem consensus sequence and their binding is cooperative. 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; autocleavage is maximal at pH 11 in the absence of RecA and ssDNA.
   
  
 0.956
recO
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.
  
  
 0.948
recR
DNA repair and recombination protein; May play a role in DNA repair. It seems to be involved in an RecBC-independent recombinational process of DNA repair. It may act with RecF and RecO.
 
  
 0.943
recG
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.
  
  
 0.938
recQ
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.
   
  
 0.931
ruvA
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.
 
  
 0.924
uvrA
Excinuclease ABC (subunit A); The UvrABC repair system catalyzes the recognition and processing of DNA lesions. UvrA is an ATPase and a DNA-binding protein. A damage recognition complex composed of 2 UvrA and 2 UvrB subunits scans DNA for abnormalities. When the presence of a lesion has been verified by UvrB, the UvrA molecules dissociate.
