Identification
Name: DNA-directed RNA polymerase subunit alpha
Synonyms:
  • RNAP subunit alpha
  • RNA polymerase subunit alpha
  • Transcriptase subunit alpha
Gene Name: rpoA
Enzyme Class:
Biological Properties
General Function: Involved in DNA-directed RNA polymerase activity
Specific Function: DNA-dependent RNA polymerase catalyzes the transcription of DNA into RNA using the four ribonucleoside triphosphates as substrates. This subunit plays an important role in subunit assembly since its dimerization is the first step in the sequential assembly of subunits to form the holoenzyme
