This entry represents the OB domain of DNA polymerase alpha subunit B [1-4]. B subunits of DNA polymerases stabilize the catalytic subunit, play a role in regulation of the DNA synthesis in a cell cycle-dependent manner and act as scaffolds mediating interactions with other components of the replication machinery [1-4].
Eukaryotic and archaeal DNA primase, large subunit C-terminal domain
DNA primase is the polymerase that synthesises small RNA primers for the Okazaki fragments made during discontinuous DNA replication. DNA primase is a heterodimer of two subunits, the small subunit Pri1 (48 kDa in yeast), and the large subunit Pri2 ( ...
DNA primase is the polymerase that synthesises small RNA primers for the Okazaki fragments made during discontinuous DNA replication. DNA primase is a heterodimer of two subunits, the small subunit Pri1 (48 kDa in yeast), and the large subunit Pri2 (58 kDa in the yeast S. cerevisiae) [1]. The large subunit of DNA primase forms interactions with the small subunit and the structure implicates that it is not directly involved in catalysis, but plays roles in correctly positioning the primase/DNA complex, and in the transfer of RNA to DNA polymerase [4]. This entry represents the C-terminal alpha helical domain.
Ten1_2 is a family of primarily plant and vertebrate telomere-capping proteins that is evolutionarily related to the mostly fungal family of Ten1, Pfam:PF12658.
This family contains OB-fold domains that bind to nucleic acids [4]. The family includes the anti-codon binding domain of lysyl, aspartyl, and asparaginyl -tRNA synthetases (See Pfam:PF00152). Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases catalyse the addition of an am ...
This family contains OB-fold domains that bind to nucleic acids [4]. The family includes the anti-codon binding domain of lysyl, aspartyl, and asparaginyl -tRNA synthetases (See Pfam:PF00152). Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases catalyse the addition of an amino acid to the appropriate tRNA molecule EC:6.1.1.-. This family also includes part of RecG helicase involved in DNA repair. Replication factor A is a hetero-trimeric complex, that contains a subunit in this family [2,3]. This domain is also found at the C-terminus of bacterial DNA polymerase III alpha chain.

STN1 is a component of the CST complex, a complex that binds to single-stranded DNA and is required for protecting telomeres from DNA degradation. The CST complex binds single-stranded DNA with high affinity in a sequence-independent manner, while isolated subunits bind DNA with low affinity on their own. In addition to telomere protection, the CST complex probably has a more general role in DNA metabolism at non-telomeric sites. This entry represents the C-terminal region of Stn1 which has two winged helix-turn-helix (wHTH) motifs, wHTH1 and wHTH2 [2,4]. wHTH1 is structurally similar to that in RPA32 with a large insertion between helices alpha2 and alpha3, unique to Stn1, that may allow interaction with a different set of proteins that function at telomeres such as Ctc1 [4]. wHTH2 is most similar to the DNA-binding wHTH motifs of the pur operon repressor and RepE replication initiator, but it does not bind double-stranded DNA [5].
