DNA gyrase, B subunit; A type II topoisomerase that negatively supercoils closed circular double-stranded (ds) DNA in an ATP-dependent manner to modulate DNA topology and maintain chromosomes in an underwound state. Negative supercoiling favors strand separation, and DNA replication, transcription, recombination and repair, all of which involve strand separation. Also able to catalyze the interconversion of other topological isomers of dsDNA rings, including catenanes and knotted rings. Type II topoisomerases break and join 2 DNA strands simultaneously in an ATP-dependent manner.

Type II topoisomerases break and join 2 DNA strands simultaneously in an ATP-dependent manner.

DNA polymerase sliding clamp subunit; 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.

Ribonuclease H, mammalian HI/archaeal HII subfamily; Endonuclease that specifically degrades the RNA of RNA-DNA hybrids; Belongs to the RNase HII family.

Hypothetical protein; RNA polymerase that catalyzes the synthesis of short RNA molecules used as primers for DNA polymerase during DNA replication. Also part of the exosome, which is a complex involved in RNA degradation. Acts as a poly(A)-binding protein that enhances the interaction between heteropolymeric, adenine-rich transcripts and the exosome.

DNA primase, large subunit; 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.

DNA polymerase III, gamma/tau subunit; Part of the RFC clamp loader complex which loads the PCNA sliding clamp onto DNA; Belongs to the activator 1 small subunits family. RfcL subfamily.

DNA primase, eukaryotic-type, small subunit, 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 extens [...]
