rpoC2 — Asparagus officinalis

Summary

A4U43_C05F30570 (symbol rpoC2) on asparagus chromosome 5 encodes a DNA-directed RNA polymerase (EC 2.7.7.6), confirmed by DNA-directed RNA polymerase activity, DNA binding, and zinc binding annotations. The product belongs to the RNA_pol_Rpb1_5 and DNA-dir_RpoC_beta_prime domain families. It is associated with DNA-dependent transcription and localises to the RNA polymerase I complex and the DNA-directed RNA polymerase complex. The gene is related to rpoC1. Related genes in other species link the family to PEP and additional RNA polymerase subunits and domains, including the DNA-dir_RNA_pol1_lsu_N and C domains.
