rpoB

FUNCTION: DNA-dependent RNA polymerase catalyzes the transcription of DNA into RNA using the four ribonucleoside triphosphates as substrates (By similarity).

CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: Nucleoside triphosphate + RNA(n) = diphosphate + RNA(n+1).

SUBUNIT: The RNAP catalytic core consists of 2 alpha, 1 beta, 1 beta' and 1 omega subunit. When a sigma factor is associated with the core the holoenzyme is formed, which can initiate transcription (By similarity).

SUBUNIT: In cyanobacteria the RNAP catalytic core is composed of 2 alpha, 1 beta, 1 beta', 1 gamma and 1 omega subunit. When a sigma factor is associated with the core the holoenzyme is formed, which can initiate transcription (By similarity).

SUBUNIT: In plastids the minimal PEP RNA polymerase catalytic core is composed of four subunits: alpha, beta, beta', and beta''. When a (nuclear-encoded) sigma factor is associated with the core the holoenzyme is formed, which can initiate transcription (By similarity).

SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Plastid, chloroplast.

SIMILARITY: Belongs to the RNA polymerase beta chain family.
