LITERATURE
structure of the catalytic subunit, with bound UTP and Mn2+. Primase contains the conserved catalytic prim fold domain, with a subdomain different from the archaeal and bacterial primases. Residues S160 and H166 are in direct contact with UTP
strcuture of the highly conserved C-terminal regulatory domain of the large subunit to 1.7 A resolution. The evolutionarily conserved 4Fe-4S cluster is buried deeply within the protein core. DNA binding shows a strong preference for ss/dsDNA junction substrates. The enzyme interacts specifically with the C-terminal domain of the intermediate subunit of replication protein A, RPA32C
structure of small subunit Prim1 at 2.2 A resolution, with citrate in its inactive forms. Dibasic citrate is bound at the nucleotide triphosphate beta, gamma-phosphate binding site through nine hydrogen bonds. The activity of Prim1 is regulated by pH and citrate
structure of the complex Prim1/Prim2, at 2.65 A resolution, and modeling of the protein in complex with NTP and DNA/RNA substrates

additional information
construction of deletion mutants lacking residues of the linker between the C-terminal and N-terminal regions of subunit Prim2 or having an insertion. Deletion of 15 amino acids of the linker decreases activity about 5fold. The enzyme with a longer linker has the same activity as wild type. Deletion of the C-terminus results in complete loss of the ability to initiate primer synthesis
