Topoisomerase-primase domain. This is a nucleotidyl transferase/hydrolase domain found in type IA, type IIA and type IIB topoisomerases, bacterial DnaG-type primases, small primase-like proteins from bacteria and archaea, OLD family nucleases from bacterial and archaea, and bacterial DNA repair proteins of the RecR/M family. This domain has two conserved motifs, one of which centers at a conserved glutamate and the other one at two conserved aspartates (DxD). This glutamate and two aspartates, cluster together to form a highly acid surface patch. The conserved glutamate may act as a general base in nucleotide polymerization by primases and in strand joining in topoisomerases and, as a general acid in strand cleavage by topisomerases and nucleases. The DXD motif may co-ordinate Mg2+, a cofactor required for full catalytic function.
No pairwise interactions are available for this conserved domain.
Tips:  If you've navigated here from a protein, hovering over a position on the weblogo will display the corresponding protein position for that domain position. The histograms below the weblogo indicate mutations found on the domain. Red is for disease (OMIM) and blue is for SNPs. Functional Features are displayed as orange boxes under the histograms. You can choose which features are displayed in the box below. Range on the Protein: Protein ID Protein Position Domain Position:
