| FUNCTION | DNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RNAP) catalyzes the transcription of DNA into RNA using the four ribonucleoside triphosphates as substrates. |
| CATALYTIC ACTIVITY | Reaction=RNA(n) + a ribonucleoside 5'-triphosphate = RNA(n+1) + diphosphate; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:21248, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:14527, Rhea:RHEA- COMP:17342, ChEBI:CHEBI:33019, ChEBI:CHEBI:61557, ChEBI:CHEBI:140395; EC=2.7.7.6; |
| case <FTGroup:1> | |
| COFACTOR | Name=Zn(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:29105; Note=Binds 1 zinc ion.; |
| end case | |
| SUBUNIT | Part of the RNA polymerase complex. |
| SUBCELLULAR LOCATION | Cytoplasm. |
| SIMILARITY | Belongs to the archaeal Rpo12/eukaryotic RPC10 RNA polymerase subunit family. |
