Ringo White; RX PubMed=16916942; DOI=10.1093/molbev/msl089; RA Chumley T.W., Palmer J.D., Mower J.P., Fourcade H.M., Calie P.J., RA Boore J.L., Jansen R.K.; RT "The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Pelargonium x hortorum: RT organization and evolution of the largest and most highly rearranged RT chloroplast genome of land plants."; RL Mol. Biol. Evol. 23:2175-2190(2006). CC -!- FUNCTION: DNA-dependent RNA polymerase catalyzes the transcription CC of DNA into RNA using the four ribonucleoside triphosphates as CC substrates. CC -!- CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: Nucleoside triphosphate + RNA(n) = diphosphate CC + RNA(n+1). CC -!- SUBUNIT: In plastids the minimal PEP RNA polymerase catalytic core CC is composed of four subunits: alpha, beta, beta', and beta''. When CC a (nuclear-encoded) sigma factor is associated with the core the CC holoenzyme is formed, which can initiate transcription (By CC similarity). CC -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Plastid, chloroplast. CC -!- DOMAIN: The N-terminal domain is essential for RNAP assembly and CC basal transcription, whereas the C-terminal domain is involved in CC interaction with transcriptional regulators and with upstream CC promoter elements (By similarity). CC -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the RNA polymerase alpha chain family. CC -!- CAUTION: Could be the product of a pseudogene. There are 3 rpoA- CC like genes in this organism (found in the inverted repeat). None CC of them are convincing as rpoA, and it may be that the functional CC gene is in the nucleus.
