Transcription Factor E (TFE), TFIIE alpha subunit homolog (tfE); Transcription factor that plays a role in the activation of archaeal genes transcribed by RNA polymerase. Facilitates transcription initiation by enhancing TATA-box recognition by TATA-box-binding protein (Tbp), and transcription factor B (Tfb) and RNA polymerase recruitment. Not absolutely required for transcription in vitro, but particularly important in cases where Tbp or Tfb function is not optimal. It dynamically alters the nucleic acid-binding properties of RNA polymerases by stabilizing the initiation complex and d [...]

DNA repair endo/exonuclease FEN-1 (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 exci [...]

Conserved hypothetical protein; Some homology to B.burgdorferi predicted coding region BB0212.

TATA box binding protein, hypothetical (tfIID); General factor that plays a role in the activation of archaeal genes transcribed by RNA polymerase. Binds specifically to the TATA box promoter element which lies close to the position of transcription initiation (By similarity).

DNA-directed RNA polymerase, subunit H (rpoH); DNA-dependent RNA polymerase catalyzes the transcription of DNA into RNA using the four ribonucleoside triphosphates as substrates; Belongs to the archaeal RpoH/eukaryotic RPB5 RNA polymerase subunit family.

Transcription initiation factor IIB (TFIIB) homolog (TFB-1); Stabilizes TBP binding to an archaeal box-A promoter. Also responsible for recruiting RNA polymerase II to the pre-initiation complex (DNA-TBP-TFIIB).

DNA-directed RNA polymerase, subunit D (rpoD); DNA-dependent RNA polymerase catalyzes the transcription of DNA into RNA using the four ribonucleoside triphosphates as substrates.

DNA-directed RNA polymerase subunit K (rpoK); DNA-dependent RNA polymerase catalyzes the transcription of DNA into RNA using the four ribonucleoside triphosphates as substrates; Belongs to the archaeal RpoK/eukaryotic RPB6 RNA polymerase subunit family.

DNA-directed RNA polymerase, subunit N (rpoN); DNA-dependent RNA polymerase catalyzes the transcription of DNA into RNA using the four ribonucleoside triphosphates as substrates.
