Investigating the Unusual Gene Structure of DNA Primase in Mycobacteriophage Subclusters
公开可下载的内容
open in viewerIn A4 and other subclusters of mycobacteriophages, DNA primase is a two-domain protein made from two genes with significant overlap that are read in different open reading frames. These genes create a functioning protein through an unknown mechanism. Our investigations using multiple sequence alignments and protein modelling do not support intein splicing, ribosomal frameshifting, or RNA polymerase slippage as mechanisms of forming a functional\nDNA primase. Preliminary RT-PCR results suggest both domains are transcribed on one transcript.
