In the presence of single-stranded DNA, [protein|A44D4677FB70BE8F554BF1001A500F817C7DA95F|RecA] interacts with [protein|D267AF38B0CF107042326E9B8F3DD3C9C85840E4|LexA] causing an autocatalytic cleavage which disrupts the DNA-binding part of [protein|D267AF38B0CF107042326E9B8F3DD3C9C85840E4|LexA], leading to derepression of the SOS regulon and eventually DNA repair (according to UniProt)Hydrolysis of Ala-|-Gly bond in repressor LexA (according to UniProt)Protein family
