Short Name | PriA |
description | Primosomal protein N', also known as ATP-dependent helicase PriA, is a component of the primosome, which is involved in replication, repair, and recombination. PriA serves as a sensor/stabiliser for an arrested replication fork and eventually promotes restart of DNA replication through assembly of a primosome. It also serves as a checkpoint protein that prevents the replicase from advancing in a strand displacement reaction on forks that do not contain a functional replicative helicase [, ]. |
