UniProt functional annotation for Q859P9

UniProt code: Q859P9.

Organism: Enterobacteria phage N4 (Bacteriophage N4).
Taxonomy: Viruses; Duplodnaviria; Heunggongvirae; Uroviricota; Caudoviricetes; Caudovirales; Podoviridae; Enquatrovirus.
 
Function: DNA-dependent RNA polymerase, which is injected into the host upon infection and transcribes the phage early genes from promoters that have a 5-bp stem-3 nt loop hairpin structure. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18362338, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19061645}.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=a ribonucleoside 5'-triphosphate + RNA(n) = diphosphate + RNA(n+1); Xref=Rhea:RHEA:21248, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:11128, Rhea:RHEA- COMP:11129, ChEBI:CHEBI:33019, ChEBI:CHEBI:61557, ChEBI:CHEBI:83400; EC=2.7.7.6; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:21321236};
Cofactor: Name=Mg(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:18420; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:21321236};
Subcellular location: Virion {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18374942, ECO:0000269|PubMed:322130}. Note=Present in about 4 copies in the virion. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18374942}.
Domain: Contains three functional domains; the central domain possesses the transcriptional activity. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18362338}.
Similarity: Belongs to the phage and mitochondrial RNA polymerase family. {ECO:0000305}.
