UniProtKB description: Represses a number of genes involved in the response to DNA damage (SOS response), including recA and lexA. Has been shown to bind to the 14 bp palindromic sequence 5'-CGAACNNNNGTTCG-3'. In the presence of single-stranded DNA, RecA interacts with LexA causing an autocatalytic cleavage which disrupts the DNA-binding part of LexA, leading to derepression of the SOS regulon and eventually DNA repair.
