We are deeply saddened by the passing of Amos Bairoch (1957–2025), the creator of PROSITE. We wish to dedicate our latest paper, published shortly before his death, to him. He will always be a source of inspiration to us.
Our deepest condolences go out to his family and friends, and to all those who had the privilege of working with him. Rest in peace, Amos. Your work will live on long after you are gone.

Description
The bacterial protein recR seems to play a role in a recombinational process of DNA repair [1]. It may act with recF and recO. RecR is a protein of about 200 amino acid residues. It contains, in its N-terminal section, a putative C4-type zinc finger that we use a signature pattern.
