This alpha helical domain is found in a set of bacterial plasmid replication proteins [1]. The domain is found to the C-terminus of the primase/polymerase domain. Mutants of this domain are defective in template binding, dinucleotide formation and conformation change prior to DNA extension [1].
Members of this family adopt a structure consisting of a core of antiparallel beta sheets. They are found in various bacterial hypothetical proteins, and have been shown to harbour both primase and polymerase activities [1].
