DNA-directed RNA polymerase RPB1 homolog

UniProtKB accession:  P42486

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Catalytic component of the DNA-directed RNA polymerase (RNAP) that catalyzes the transcription in the cytoplasm of viral DNA into RNA using the four ribonucleoside triphosphates as substrates (By similarity). Forms the polymerase active center together with RPB2 (By similarity). Part of the core element with the central large cleft, the clamp element that moves to open and close the cleft and the jaws that are thought to grab the incoming DNA template (By similarity).
