Single-stranded DNA-binding protein

UniProtKB accession:  Q7Y265

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Single-stranded DNA-binding protein that participates in viral DNA replication, recombination, and repair. Coats the lagging-strand ssDNA as the replication fork advances. Stimulates the activities of viral DNA polymerase and the replicative helicase, probably via its interaction with the helicase assembly factor. Together with the replicative helicase and the helicase assembly factor, promotes pairing of two homologous DNA molecules containing complementary single-stranded regions and mediates homologous DNA strand exchange. Promotes also the formation of joint molecules. mRNA specific autogenous translational repressor.
