FunFam 1703: DNA-directed RNA polymerases I

There are 3 EC terms in this cluster

Please note: EC annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

Note: The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.

EC Term Annotations Evidence
DNA-directed RNA polymerase. [EC: 2.7.7.6]
Nucleoside triphosphate + RNA(n) = diphosphate + RNA(n+1).
  • Catalyzes DNA-template-directed extension of the 3'-end of an RNA strand by one nucleotide at a time.
  • Can initiate a chain de novo.
  • In eukaryotes three forms of the enzyme have been distinguished on the basis of sensitivity of alpha-amanitin, and the type of RNA synthesized.
  • See also EC 2.7.7.19 and EC 2.7.7.48.

Cobaltochelatase. [EC: 6.6.1.2]
ATP + hydrogenobyrinic acid a,c-diamide + Co(2+) + H(2)O = ADP + phosphate + cob(II)yrinic acid a,c-diamide + H(2).
  • This enzyme, which forms part of the aerobic cobalamin biosynthesis pathway, is a type I chelatase, being heterotrimeric and ATP- dependent.
  • It comprises two components, one of which corresponds to CobN and the other is composed of two polypeptides, specified by cobS and cobT in Pseudomonas denitrificans, and named CobST.
  • Hydrogenobyrinic acid is a very poor substrate.
  • ATP can be replaced by dATP or CTP but the reaction proceeds more slowly.
  • CobN exhibits a high affinity for hydrogenobyrinic acid a,c-diamide.
  • The oligomeric protein CobST possesses at least one sulfhydryl group that is essential for ATP-binding.
  • Once the Co(2+) is inserted, the next step in the pathway ensures that the cobalt is ligated securely by reducing Co(II) to Co(I); this step is carried out by EC 1.16.8.1.

RNA-directed DNA polymerase. [EC: 2.7.7.49]
Deoxynucleoside triphosphate + DNA(n) = diphosphate + DNA(n+1).
  • Catalyzes RNA-template-directed extension of the 3'-end of a DNA strand by one deoxynucleotide at a time.
  • Cannot initiate a chain de novo.
  • Requires a RNA or DNA primer.
  • DNA can also serve as template.
  • See also EC 2.7.7.7.
