Primases are DNA-dependent RNA polymerases that synthesize the oligoribonucleotide primers essential to DNA replication. In archaeal and eukaryotic organisms, the core primase is a heterodimeric ...

Primases are essential RNA polymerases required for the initiation of DNA replication, lagging strand synthesis and replication restart. Many aspects of primase function remain unclear, including how ...
