| Primary Identifier | IPR011938 | Type | Family |
| Short Name | DNA_recomb/repair_RadA |
| description | This family consists exclusively of archaeal RadA protein, a homologue of bacterial RecA, eukaryotic RAD51 (), and archaeal RadB (). This protein is involved in DNA repair and in homologous recombination, it binds and assembles on single-stranded DNA to form a nucleoprotein filament. RadA hydrolyzes ATP in a ssDNA-dependent manner and promotes DNA strand exchange between homologous DNA molecules involved in DNA repair and recombination. The member from Pyrococcus horikoshii contains an intein []. |
