Feature:
CHAIN 1 232 LexA repressor.
/FTId=PRO_0000170028.
DNA_BIND 36 56 H-T-H motif (By similarity).
ACT_SITE 156 156 Involved in auto-cleavage (By
similarity).
ACT_SITE 193 193 Involved in auto-cleavage (By
similarity).
SITE 121 122 Cleavage (auto-) (By similarity).

Comments:
-!- FUNCTION: Represses a number of genes involved in the response to
DNA damage (SOS response), including recA and lexA. 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 (By similarity).
-!- CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: Hydrolysis of Ala-|-Gly bond in repressor
lexA.
-!- SUBUNIT: Homodimer (By similarity).
-!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the peptidase S24 family.
