DNA primase DnaG
Definition:
EC Tree > 2 Transferases > 2.7 Transferring phosphorus-containing groups > 2.7.7 Nucleotidyltransferases > 2.7.7.101 DNA primase DnaG
DNA primase DnaG is the bacterial/archaeal lagging-strand RNA primase. Using ssDNA template and NTPs, it synthesizes short RNA primers (n-1) releasing (n-1) diphosphate, which are extended by DNA polymerase EC 2.7.7.7. Archaea also have a second AEP primase (EC 2.7.7.102). Expected in Bacteria, Archaea and Eukaryota.
