Putative DNA repair helicase RadD

UniProtKB accession:  P33919

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  RadD contains helicase motifs, suggesting it may be a helicase, although that activity has not been observed (Probable). In combination with RadA is important in repair of double-strand DNA breaks (DSB) (PubMed:25425430, PubMed:25484163). Has DNA-independent ATPase activity that is stimulated by single-stranded DNA-binding protein SSB. ATPase is stimulated by a peptide with the last 10 residues of SSB, but not when the peptide's last Phe residue is missing. Binds ssDNA; binding is slightly better in the presence of nucleotides (PubMed:27519413). May be involved in resolution of branched DNA intermediates that result from template switching in postreplication gaps. Binds to DNA structures with 3 branches that resemble replication forks (PubMed:31665437).
