UniProt functional annotation for Q8DRQ1

UniProt code: Q8DRQ1.

Organism: Streptococcus pneumoniae (strain ATCC BAA-255 / R6).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Firmicutes; Bacilli; Lactobacillales; Streptococcaceae; Streptococcus.
 
Function: Couples transcription and DNA repair by recognizing RNA polymerase (RNAP) stalled at DNA lesions. Mediates ATP-dependent release of RNAP and its truncated transcript from the DNA, and recruitment of nucleotide excision repair machinery to the damaged site. {ECO:0000256|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00969}.
