Operon	recABC
Sigma Factor

Protein

Please add in this section information about localization, the catalyzed reaction (in case of enzymes), domains, interactions, and effectors of its activity...

• Localization: Membrane (Au et al, 2005)

This protein is known to localize in the membrane in the exponential phase, but not in the stationary phase, where the distribution is spotty.

• Interaction: Interacts with LexA
