Binds to the promoters of a number of genes, including dinB, imuA, lexA, recA, recQ, splB and uvrA (PubMed:27489856). Represses a number of genes involved in the response to DNA damage (SOS response) (By similarity). In the presence of single-stranded DNA, RecA interacts with LexA causing an autocatalytic cleavage which disrupts the DNA-binding part of LexA, leading to derepression of the SOS regulon and eventually DNA repair (By similarity).|||Homodimer.
