2rec is a 6 chain structure with sequence from Escherichia coli. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
[RECA_ECOLI] Can catalyze the hydrolysis of ATP in the presence of single-stranded DNA, the ATP-dependent uptake of single-stranded DNA by duplex DNA, and the ATP-dependent hybridization of homologous single-stranded DNAs. It interacts with LexA causing its activation and leading to its autocatalytic cleavage.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_00268]

Publication Abstract from PubMed
The RecA protein forms a hexameric ring that is similar to the core of the F1-ATPase. Several lines of evidence suggest that this hexamer may be a structural homologue of ring helicases.
