Comments [?]

FUNCTION	A non-essential component of RNA polymerase (RNAP).
CATALYTIC ACTIVITY	Reaction=a ribonucleoside 5'-triphosphate + RNA(n) = diphosphate + RNA(n+1); 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;
SUBUNIT	RNAP is composed of a core of 2 alpha, a beta and a beta' subunit. The core is associated with a delta subunit, and at least one of epsilon or omega. When a sigma factor is associated with the core the holoenzyme is formed, which can initiate transcription.
SIMILARITY	Belongs to the RNA polymerase subunit epsilon family.
