Part:BBa_K2457003
Standardized RecA coding sequence
The BioBrick BBa_K2457002 is an essential building block of the standard BioBrick toolbox for bacterial genome: the ([http://2017.igem.org/Team:Amazonas_Brazil pCRISPeasy]). It will be involved with homologous recombination processes. This part has the length of 1210bp and it is oriented in reverse, being composed of the RecA coding sequence and the L3S2P00 transcription terminator.

Usage and Biology
After the cleavage by Cas9 in the target sequence at a ribonucleoprotein complex with the guide RNA, originating blunt-end strands. In SOS response, the endogenous RecBCD repair enzymes from the cell machinery degrade the blunt-end extremities in 5’ to 3’ direction until the chi site recognition. Then, their activity in 5’ to 3’ direction is finished and keeps going to 3’ strand, forming 3’ DNA single stick-ends strands. This segment is recognized by RecA, which builds a DNA-protein filament able to investigate for a homologous template on undamaged DNA sequences, assisting on the polymerase invasion process and setting-up the Holliday Junction. This generates a crossover with the strands, leading to the recombination among the undamaged strand and the broken strand. Now let's analyze the functional scheme of this building block:
