PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
STRUCTURE
motifs/domains
  • four putative cysteine ligands
  • an iron-sulfur cluster in DNA primase that contributes to enzymatic activity
  • C-terminal 67 amino acid residues of the p180 subunit are essential for SV40 DNA replication as they are required for binding of the p68 subunit and play a role in the interaction with the primase subunits, p48 and p58
  • mono polymer heteromer , dimer , tetramer
    HOMOLOGY
    Homologene
    FAMILY
  • eukaryotic-type primase large subunit family
  • CATEGORY enzyme , transcription factor

    a component
  • subunit of the pol alpha (POLA)/primase complex
  • heterodimer of a small subunit and a large subunit
  • heterotetrameric complex essential for simian vacuolating virus 40 (SV40) DNA replication
