DNA-directed RNA polymerase subunit

UniProtKB accession:  A4GDF1

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 and OPG133, thereby allowing the early genes transcription. Late transcription, and probably also intermediate transcription, require newly synthesized RNA polymerase.
