Protein name

RecName: Full=DNA-directed RNA polymerase subunit A''; EC=2.7.7.6;

Gene name

rpoA2

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).

SIMILARITY: Belongs to the RNA polymerase beta' chain family.
