Conserved hypothetical protein; Prenyltransferase that catalyzes in vivo the transfer of the heptaprenyl moiety of heptaprenyl pyrophosphate (HepPP; 35 carbon atoms) to the C3 hydroxyl of sn-glycerol-1-phosphate (G1P), producing heptaprenylglyceryl phosphate (HepGP). This reaction is an ether-bond- formation step in the biosynthesis of archaea-type G1P-based membrane lipids found in Bacillales. To a much lesser extent, is also able to use geranylgeranyl diphosphate (GGPP; C20) as the prenyl donor.

Conserved hypothetical protein.

Recombination protein RecA, putative; Can catalyze 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. It interacts with LexA causing its activation and leading to its autocatalytic cleavage; Belongs to the RecA family.

DNA polymerase III, beta subunit; Confers DNA tethering and processivity to DNA polymerases and other proteins. Acts as a clamp, forming a ring around DNA (a reaction catalyzed by the clamp-loading complex) which diffuses in an ATP- independent manner freely and bidirectionally along dsDNA. Initially characterized for its ability to contact the catalytic subunit of DNA polymerase III (Pol III), a complex, multichain enzyme responsible for most of the replicative synthesis in bacteria; Pol III exhibits 3'-5' exonuclease proofreading activity. The beta chain is required for initiation of [...]

ATP-dependent nuclease subunit A, putative; The heterodimer acts as both an ATP-dependent DNA helicase and an ATP-dependent, dual-direction single-stranded exonuclease. Recognizes the chi site generating a DNA molecule suitable for the initiation of homologous recombination. The AddA nuclease domain is required for chi fragment generation; this subunit has the helicase and 3' -> 5' nuclease activities; Belongs to the helicase family. AddA subfamily.

Exonuclease RexB, putative; The heterodimer acts as both an ATP-dependent DNA helicase and an ATP-dependent, dual-direction single-stranded exonuclease. Recognizes the chi site generating a DNA molecule suitable for the initiation of homologous recombination. The AddB nuclease domain is not required for chi fragment generation; this subunit has 5' -> 3' nuclease activity.

Conserved hypothetical protein; DNA-dependent ATPase and ATP-dependent 5'-3' DNA helicase. Has no activity on blunt DNA or DNA with 3'-overhangs, requires at least 10 bases of 5'-ssDNA for helicase activity; Belongs to the RecD family. RecD-like subfamily.

DNA mismatch repair protein HexB, putative; This protein is involved in the repair of mismatches in DNA. It is required for dam-dependent methyl-directed DNA mismatch repair. May act as a 'molecular matchmaker', a protein that promotes the formation of a stable complex between two or more DNA-binding proteins in an ATP-dependent manner without itself being part of a final effector complex.
