dnaG is a primase which synthesizes RNA primer. The prime function of dnaG is to make a primer for Okazaki fragment in E. coli. DNA primase is a form of RNA polymerase and a product of the dnaG gene. ... A primer is a nucleic acid strand (or related molecule) that serves as a starting point for DNA replication. ... A primer is a nucleic acid strand (or related molecule) that serves as a starting point for DNA replication. ... An Okazaki fragment is a relatively short fragment of DNA that is created by primase and Pol III along the lagging strand (see DNA replication). ... Binomial name Escherichia coli T. Escherich, 1885 Escherichia coli (usually abbreviated to E. coli) is one of the main species of bacteria that live in the lower intestines of warm-blooded animals (including birds and mammals) and are necessary for the proper digestion of food. ...
dnaG binds to dnaB to perform its primase activity. dnaB helicase is an enzyme which holds open the replication fork during DNA replication. ...
The DNAG Project of the 1980's resulted in published synthesis volumes and wall maps summarizing the geology, tectonics, magnetic and gravity anomaly patterns, regional stress fields, thermal aspects, seismicity, and neotectonics of North America and surrounding ocean areas.
These were used to produce the DNAG Gravity Anomaly Map of North America (1987; scale 1:5,000,000; James G. Tanner, chairman of map committee).
DNAG maps and publications may be ordered from the Geological Society of America, Publication Sales, P.O. Box 9140, Boulder, CO, 80301.
