Protein Family Models

This family contains several bacterial RmuC DNA recombination proteins. The function of the RMUC protein is unknown but it is suspected that it is either a structural protein that protects DNA against nuclease action, or is itself involved in DNA cleavage at the regions of DNA secondary structures [1] [1]. 10886369.

DNA recombination protein RmuC has been suggested to limit inversions at short-inverted repeats; it contains an Mg(2+)-dependent PD-(D/E)XK nuclease domain and may specifically cleave DNA structures associated with the recombination of short-inverted repeats

YigN; nuclease that may cleave DNA structures arising during the recombination of short-inverted repeats and thereby prevents the inversion of the internal sequence; transcription is induced by DNA-damaging agents such as nalidixic acid or mitomycin C in a LexA-dependent manner
