Query author contributions in Reactome
Reactome depends on collaboration between our curation team and outside experts to assemble and peer-review its pathway modules. The integration of ORCID within Reactome enables us to meet a key challenge with authoring, curating and reviewing biological information by incentivizing and crediting the external experts that contribute their expertise and time to the Reactome curation process. More information is available at ORCID and Reactome.
If you have an ORCID ID that is not listed on this page, please forward this information to us and we will update your Reactome pathway records.

| comment | FUNCTION Regulatory subunit of the DNA primase complex and component of the DNA polymerase alpha complex (also known as the alpha DNA polymerase-primase complex) which play an essential role in the initiation of DNA synthesis (PubMed:17893144, PubMed:25550159, PubMed:26975377, PubMed:9705292). During the S phase of the cell cycle, the DNA polymerase alpha complex (composed of a catalytic subunit POLA1, an accessory subunit POLA2 and two primase subunits, the catalytic subunit PRIM1 and the regulatory subunit PRIM2) is recruited to DNA at the replicative forks via direct interactions with MCM10 and WDHD1 (By similarity). The primase subunit of the polymerase alpha complex initiates DNA synthesis by oligomerising short RNA primers on both leading and lagging strands (PubMed:17893144). These primers are initially extended by the polymerase alpha catalytic subunit and subsequently transferred to polymerase delta and polymerase epsilon for processive synthesis on the lagging and leading strand, respectively (By similarity). In the primase complex, both subunits are necessary for the initial di-nucleotide formation, but the extension of the primer depends only on the catalytic subunit (PubMed:17893144, PubMed:25550159). Binds RNA:DNA duplex and coordinates the catalytic activities of PRIM1 and POLA2 during primase-to-polymerase switch.COFACTOR Binds 1 [4Fe-4S] cluster.SUBUNIT Heterodimer of a catalytic subunit PRIM1 and a regulatory subunit PRIM2, also known as the DNA primase complex (PubMed:17893144, PubMed:9705292). Interacts via (C-terminus) with PRIM1 (PubMed:17893144). Component of the alpha DNA polymerase complex (also known as the alpha DNA polymerase-primase complex) consisting of four subunits: the catalytic subunit POLA1, the regulatory subunit POLA2, and the primase complex subunits PRIM1 and PRIM2 respectively (PubMed:26975377, PubMed:9705292). Within the complex, POLA1 directly interacts with PRIM2.INTERACTION The RNA:DNA duplex-binding domain interacts with the template phosphates at positions -2, -1, 1, and 2 positioning its bases -1, 1, and 2 for duplex formation. Interacts only with the beta- and gamma-phosphates of triphosphate moiety of initiating NTP of the primer. The side chain of His-303 mimics a RNA base that would be paired with the template nucleotide at position -1 via a hydrogen bond, thereby facilitating the stacking of the initiating NTP. In the initiating primosome a 'mini RNA:DNA' duplex is formed comprising three template nucleotides at positions -1, 1, and 2 on one strand and His-303, initiating NTP, and incoming NTP on the other strand.DOMAIN The interdomain linker provides flexibility in movement relative to primosome platform composed of PRIM1, the N-terminus of PRIM2, the C-terminus of POLA1 and POLA2. Together with POLA1 interdomain linker, allows for large-scale conformational changes of primosome and coordinated autoregulation of catalytic centers of PRIM1 and POLA1. It is proposed to move the C-terminus of PRIM2 close to PRIM1 during initiation, then move it away with the 5'-end of the nascent primer during elongation. The steric hindrance between the N- and C-terminus of PRIM2 as the RNA primer is elongated limits its length to 9 nucleotides. Ultimately a large rotation of the C-terminus of PRIM2 transfers the primer to POLA1 active site for DNA synthesis.SIMILARITY Belongs to the eukaryotic-type primase large subunit family. |
