Protein
Probable ATP-dependent DNA helicase RecS
Organism
Bacillus subtilis (strain 168)
Function
Probable DNA helicase. Required in synaptic and/or post-synaptic stages of recombination. Probably has overlapping function with RecQ (AC O34748). It probably acts to help generate ss-DNA from ds-DNA breaks.
Similarity
Belongs to the helicase family. RecQ subfamily.
