Human Gene PRIM1 (ENST00000338193.11) from GENCODE V44
  Description: Homo sapiens DNA primase subunit 1 (PRIM1), mRNA. (from RefSeq NM_000946)
RefSeq Summary (NM_000946): The replication of DNA in eukaryotic cells is carried out by a complex chromosomal replication apparatus, in which DNA polymerase alpha and primase are two key enzymatic components. Primase, which is a heterodimer of a small subunit and a large subunit, synthesizes small RNA primers for the Okazaki fragments made during discontinuous DNA replication. The protein encoded by this gene is the small, 49 kDa primase subunit. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008].

-  Comments and Description Text from UniProtKB
  ID: PRI1_HUMAN
DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=DNA primase small subunit; EC=2.7.7.-; AltName: Full=DNA primase 49 kDa subunit; Short=p49;
FUNCTION: DNA primase is the polymerase that synthesizes small RNA primers for the Okazaki fragments made during discontinuous DNA replication.
SUBUNIT: Heterodimer of a small subunit and a large subunit.
MISCELLANEOUS: The bound zinc ion is not a cofactor. It is bound to a zinc knuckle motif that may be involved in sequence recognition and the binding of ssDNA (By similarity).
SIMILARITY: Belongs to the eukaryotic-type primase small subunit family.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.

-  Orthologous Genes in Other Species
  Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
