Feature:
CHAIN 1 205 LexA repressor.
/FTId=PRO_0000170010.
DNA_BIND 28 48 H-T-H motif (By similarity).
ACT_SITE 127 127 Involved in auto-cleavage (By
similarity).
ACT_SITE 165 165 Involved in auto-cleavage (By
similarity).
SITE 91 92 Cleavage (auto-).

Comments:
-!- FUNCTION: Represses dinA, dinB, dinC, recA genes and itself by
binding to the 14 bp palindromic sequence 5'-CGAACNNNNGTTCG-3'. 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.
-!- CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: Hydrolysis of Ala-|-Gly bond in repressor
lexA.
-!- SUBUNIT: Homodimer (By similarity).
-!- DEVELOPMENTAL STAGE: Expressed during the entire cell cycle with
at least a threefold increase when cells develop competence.
-!- INDUCTION: An SOS-independent induction of dinR occurs during
competence.
-!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the peptidase S24 family.
