DNA polymerase III, beta chain; Confers DNA tethering and processivity to DNA polymerases and other proteins. Acts as a clamp, forming a ring around DNA (a reaction catalyzed by the clamp-loading complex) which diffuses in an ATP- independent manner freely and bidirectionally along dsDNA. Initially characterized for its ability to contact the catalytic subunit of DNA polymerase III (Pol III), a complex, multichain enzyme responsible for most of the replicative synthesis in bacteria; Pol III exhibits 3'-5' exonuclease proofreading activity. The beta chain is required for initiation of r [...]

DNA Polymerase IV, DinB; Poorly processive, error-prone DNA polymerase involved in untargeted mutagenesis. Copies undamaged DNA at stalled replication forks, which arise in vivo from mismatched or misaligned primer ends. These misaligned primers can be extended by PolIV. Exhibits no 3'-5' exonuclease (proofreading) activity. May be involved in translesional synthesis, in conjunction with the beta clamp from PolIII.

DNA polymerase III, delta prime subunit; DNA polymerase III is a complex, multichain enzyme responsible for most of the replicative synthesis in bacteria. This DNA polymerase also exhibits 3' to 5' exonuclease activity (By similarity).

Hypothetical protein; Product name confidence: Class 4 (Homologs of previously reported genes of unknown function, or no similarity to any previously reported sequences).

Probable ATP-dependent DNA ligase; With Ku probably forms a non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) repair enzyme, which repairs dsDNA breaks (DSB) with reduced fidelity. Acts as a DNA ligase on singly nicked dsDNA, fills dsDNA gaps (3- or 4- nucleotide gaps, prefers a 5'-phosphate at the gap distal end, prefers dNTPs over rNTPs) , has DNA-directed DNA polymerase activity (templated primer extension) and DNA-directed RNA polymerase activity , adds 1 or 2 non-templated rNTP (or less well dNTP) to ssDNA or blunt-end dsDNA (primer extension). Has 3' resection activity, removing 3'-rNMPs from DN [...]

RecA protein; Can catalyze the hydrolysis of ATP in the presence of single- stranded DNA, the ATP-dependent uptake of single-stranded DNA by duplex DNA, and the ATP-dependent hybridization of homologous single-stranded DNAs. It interacts with LexA causing its activation and leading to its autocatalytic cleavage; Belongs to the RecA family.

Conserved hypothetical protein; Product name confidence: Class 4 (Homologs of previously reported genes of unknown function, or no similarity to any previously reported sequences).

Hypothetical protein; Product name confidence: Class 4 (Homologs of previously reported genes of unknown function, or no similarity to any previously reported sequences).

DNA repair protein RecN; May be involved in recombinational repair of damaged DNA.
