Protein
DNA repair protein RecO
Organism
Bacillus subtilis (strain 168)
Function
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.
Similarity
Belongs to the RecO family.
