Abstract excerpt
Bacterial primase initiates the repeated synthesis of short RNA primers that are extended by DNA polymerase to synthesize Okazaki fragments on the lagging strand at replication forks. It remains unclear how the enzyme recognizes specific initiation sites. In this study, the DnaG primase from Bacillus subtilis (BsuDnaG) was characterized and the crystal structure of the RNA polymerase domain (RPD) was determined....
