DNA-directed RNA polymerase 7 kDa subunit

UniProtKB accession:  P68317

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Part of the DNA-dependent RNA polymerase which catalyzes the transcription of viral DNA into RNA using the four ribonucleoside triphosphates as substrates. Responsible for the transcription of early, intermediate and late genes. DNA-dependent RNA polymerase associates with the early transcription factor (ETF), itself composed of OPG118/D6 and OPG134/A8, thereby allowing the early genes transcription. Late transcription, and probably also intermediate transcription, require newly synthesized RNA polymerase.
