UniProt functional annotation for P9WHJ3

UniProt code: P9WHJ3.

Organism: Mycobacterium tuberculosis (strain ATCC 25618 / H37Rv).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Actinobacteria; Corynebacteriales; Mycobacteriaceae; Mycobacterium; Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex.
 
Function: 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.
 
Function: PI-MtuI is an endonuclease.
 
Subunit: Interacts with UvrD1 and UvrA. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20455546}.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250}.
Ptm: This protein undergoes a protein self splicing that involves a post-translational excision of the intervening region (intein) followed by peptide ligation.
Similarity: Belongs to the RecA family. {ECO:0000305}.
