General Information

  • Identifier IPR007646
  • Description RNA polymerase Rpb2, domain 4

Abstract

RNA polymerases catalyse the DNA dependent polymerisation of RNA. Prokaryotes contain a single RNA polymerase compared to three in eukaryotes (not including mitochondrial and chloroplast polymerases). Domain 4 is also known as the external 2 domain [ 1 ].
