Hypothetical protein; Regulatory subunit of DNA primase, an RNA polymerase that catalyzes the synthesis of short RNA molecules used as primers for DNA polymerase during DNA replication. Stabilizes and modulates the activity of the small subunit, increasing the rate of DNA synthesis, and conferring RNA synthesis capability. The DNA polymerase activity may enable DNA primase to also catalyze primer extension after primer synthesis. May also play a role in DNA repair.

Proliferating-cell nuclear antigen (pol30); Sliding clamp subunit that acts as a moving platform for DNA processing. Responsible for tethering the catalytic subunit of DNA polymerase and other proteins to DNA during high-speed replication. Belongs to the PCNA family.

Conserved hypothetical protein; Possesses two activities: a DNA synthesis (polymerase) and an exonucleolytic activity that degrades single-stranded DNA in the 3'- to 5'-direction. Has a template-primer preference which is characteristic of a replicative DNA polymerase.

DNA repair protein RAD2 (rad2); Structure-specific nuclease with 5'-flap endonuclease and 5'- 3' exonuclease activities involved in DNA replication and repair. During DNA replication, cleaves the 5'-overhanging flap structure that is generated by displacement synthesis when DNA polymerase encounters the 5'-end of a downstream Okazaki fragment. Binds the unpaired 3'-DNA end and kinks the DNA to facilitate 5' cleavage specificity. Cleaves one nucleotide into the double-stranded DNA from the junction in flap DNA, leaving a nick for ligation. Also involved in the base excision repair (BER) [...]

Activator 1 (replication factor C), 35 KD subunit; Part of the RFC clamp loader complex which loads the PCNA sliding clamp onto DNA; Belongs to the activator 1 small subunits family. RfcS subfamily.

Conserved hypothetical protein; Similar to SP:P11666 PID:41424 PID:882453 GB:U00096 PID:1789291 percent identity: 22.34; identified by sequence similarity; putative.

DNA primase, putative; Catalytic subunit of DNA primase, an RNA polymerase that catalyzes the synthesis of short RNA molecules used as primers for DNA polymerase during DNA replication. The small subunit contains the primase catalytic core and has DNA synthesis activity on its own. Binding to the large subunit stabilizes and modulates the activity, increasing the rate of DNA synthesis while decreasing the length of the DNA fragments, and conferring RNA synthesis capability. The DNA polymerase activity may enable DNA primase to also catalyze primer extension after primer synthesis. May [...]

Conserved hypothetical protein; Single-stranded-DNA-specific exonuclease.

Conserved hypothetical protein; Similar to GB:AE000666 percent identity: 35.87; identified by sequence similarity; putative; To M.jannaschii MJ0977.
