yoaM

Gene
yoaM
Protein
SOS response-associated protein YoaM
Organism
Bacillus subtilis (strain 168)
Length
227 amino acids
Function
Sensor of abasic sites in single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) required to preserve genome integrity by promoting error-free repair of abasic sites. Recognizes and binds abasic sites in ssDNA at replication forks and chemically modifies the lesion by forming a covalent cross-link with DNA (By similarity). May act as a protease: mediates autocatalytic processing of its N-terminal methionine in order to expose the catalytic cysteine (By similarity).
Similarity
Belongs to the SOS response-associated peptidase family.
