This domain is found in RecBCD enzyme subunit RecD from Escherichia coli and in similar proteins mostly found in Gammaproteobacteria. RecD is a 5'-3' helicase that comprises three domains. This entry represents the N-terminal domain of RecD, which forms the principal interface between RecD and domain 2B of RecC and leads to the conformational change in RecD that has significant effects on the conformation of the RecC subunit [1-4].

The Exodeoxyribonuclease V enzyme is a multi-subunit enzyme comprised of the proteins RecB, RecC (this family) and RecD. This enzyme plays an important role in homologous genetic recombination, repair of double strand DNA breaks resistance to UV irradiation and chemical DNA-damage. The enzyme (EC:3.1.11.5) catalyses ssDNA or dsDNA-dependent ATP hydrolysis, hydrolysis of ssDNA or dsDNA and unwinding of dsDNA [1]. This subunit recognises and binds DNA forks containing Chi sequences in a sequence specific manner while Chi interactions with the phosphodiester backbone (mainly arginine side chains) stabilise the twisted conformation of the DNA. These interactions induce conformational changes that switch RecBCD from bacteriophage destruction and CRISPR spacer acquisition, to constructive host DNA repair [2]. This entry represents the N-terminal domain.
This entry corresponds to the C-terminal domain of the RecC protein. This domain has a PD(D/E)XK like fold. Deleting this domain eliminates RecD assembly within the RecBCD complex [1].

The Rep family helicases are composed of four structural domains. The Rep family function as dimers. REP helicases catalyse ATP dependent unwinding of double stranded DNA to single stranded DNA. Swiss:P23478, Swiss:P08394 have large insertions near to the carboxy-terminus relative to other members of the family.
