RecA | RecA interacts with and loads wild-type RadA to promote unwinding of a non-cognate 3'-tailed or 5'-fork DNA substrate and of a 5'-invading D-loop. Wild-type RadA interaction with RecA is crucial to recruit the former onto D-loop DNA, and both proteins in concert catalyse D-loop extension to favour integration of ssDNA during chromosomal transformation. Proposed model for the action of the 5'->3' RadA helicase in coordination with RecA during natural transformation and in doublee strand break repair, overview. RecA has ATPase activity, but RadA inhibits the ATPase activity of RecA. Mutational function analysis, overview | Bacillus subtilis |

More | RadA has four well-conserved motifs: a potential C4-type zinc-binding motif at the N-terminal domain, a central canonical RecA-like ATPase domain (H1-H4 motifs) and KNRFG motif, and the P/LonC domain at the C-terminus domain | Bacillus subtilis |

evolution | Bacillus subtilis encodes three branch migration translocases: RuvAB, RecG, and RadA, i.e. Sms | Bacillus subtilis |
malfunction | a null radA mutation impairs chromosomal transformation, in the absence of RadA competent cells require the RecG translocase for natural chromosomal transformation. A RadA/SmsC4 mutation impairs chromosomal and plasmid transformation. Enzyme mutants RadA C13A or C13R fail to interact with RecA and do not promote unwinding of a non-cognate 3'-tailed or 5'-fork DNA substrate. Enzyme mutants RadA C13A and C13R hydrolyse ATP in a ssDNA-dependent manner. Mutant RadA C13A interacts with itself but does not interact with RecA. RadA C13A and C13R variants preferentially bind ssDNA, albeit with lower efficiency than the wild-type enzyme. RadA C13A and C13R mutants bind natural ssDNA and partially displace SsbA | Bacillus subtilis |
physiological function | wild-type RadA interacts with and inhibits the ATPase activity of RecA (BG214). RadA and its mutant variants, C13A and C13R, bound to the 5'-tail of a DNA substrate, unwind DNA in the 5'->3' direction. RecA interacts with and loads wild-type RadA to promote unwinding of a non-cognate 3'-tailed or 5'-fork DNA substrate. Wild-type RadA interaction with RecA is crucial to recruit the former onto D-loop DNA, and both proteins in concert catalyse D-loop extension to favour integration of ssDNA during chromosomal transformation. But RadA inhibits the ATPase activity of RecA. Proposed model for the action of the 5'->3' RadA helicase in coordination with RecA during natural transformation and in double strand break repair, overview. RadA is crucial for chromosomal transformation, but is essential in the DELTArecG background. Functional analysis, detailed overview | Bacillus subtilis |
