Gene Ontology Help

DNA polymerase alpha:primase complex Overview

GO Annotations consist of four mandatory components: a gene product, a term from one of the three Gene Ontology (GO) controlled vocabularies (Molecular Function, Biological Process, and Cellular Component), a reference, and an evidence code.


Summary
Initiates DNA replication by synthesizing short RNA primers on the leading and lagging strand templates in a minimum of five steps: template binding, NTP binding, dinucleotide formation, extension to a functional RNA primer, and primer transfer to the POLA catalytic site for elongation into hybrid primers of about 35 nucleotides.
GO Slim Terms

The yeast GO Slim terms are higher level terms that best represent the major S. cerevisiae biological processes, functions, and cellular components. The GO Slim terms listed here are the broader parent terms for the specific terms to which this gene product is annotated, and thus represent the more general processes, functions, and components in which it is involved.

DNA binding, nucleotidyltransferase activity, transferase activity, DNA metabolic process
