Function

[DDRB_DEIGD] ssDNA-binding protein that probably contributes to the ionizing radiation resistance of D.geothermalis. Plays a role in DNA repair and genome reconstitution, in a RecA-independent process, and is necessary for recovery from severe genomic fragmentation as a result of exposure to severe levels of ionizing radiation (Probable). Binds single-stranded DNA but not duplex DNA.
