Abstract excerpt
At a replication fork DNA primase synthesizes oligoribonucleotides that serve as primers for the lagging strand DNA polymerase. In the bacteriophage T7 replication system, DNA primase is encoded by gene 4 of the phage. The 63-kDa gene 4 protein is composed of two major domains, a helicase domain and a primase domain located in the C- and N-terminal halves of the protein, respectively. T7 DNA primase recognizes...
