    basic FUNCTION
  • catalyzing the transcription of DNA into RNA using the four ribonucleoside triphosphates as substrates
  • proposed to contribute to the polymerase catalytic activity and forming the polymerase active center together with the largest subunit
  • CELLULAR PROCESS nucleotide, transcription
