DNA-directed RNA polymerase, alpha subunit, bacterial and chloroplast-type; This family consists of the bacterial (and chloroplast) DNA-directed RNA polymerase alpha subunit, encoded by the rpoA gene. The RNA polymerase catalyzes the transcription of DNA into RNA using the four ribonucleoside triphosphates as substrates. The amino terminal domain is involved in dimerizing and assembling the other RNA polymerase subunits into a transcriptionally active enzyme. The carboxy-terminal domain contains determinants for interaction with DNA and with transcriptional activator proteins. [Transcription, DNA-dependent RNA polymerase]

N-terminal domain of the Alpha subunit of Bacterial RNA polymerase; The bacterial alpha subunit of RNA polymerase (RNAP) consists of two independently folded domains: an amino-terminal domain (alphaNTD) and a carboxy-terminal domain (alphaCTD). AlphaCTD is not required for RNAP assembly but interacts with transcription activators. AlphaNTD is essential in vivo and in vitro for RNAP assembly and basal transcription. It is similar to the eukaryotic RPB3/AC40/archaeal D subunit, and contains two subdomains: one subdomain is similar the eukaryotic Rpb11/AC19/archaeal L subunit which is involved in dimerization; and the other is an inserted beta sheet subdomain. The alphaNTDs of plant plastid RNAP (PEP) are also included in this subfamily. PEP is largely responsible for the transcription of photosynthetic genes and is closely related to the multi-subunit bacterial RNAP, which is a large multi-subunit complex responsible for the synthesis of all bacterial RNAs. The bacterial RNAP core enzyme consists of four subunits (beta', beta, alpha and omega). All residues in the alpha subunit that is involved in dimerization or in the interaction with other subunits are located within alphaNTD.

RNA polymerase Rpb3/Rpb11 dimerization domain; The two eukaryotic subunits Rpb3 and Rpb11 dimerize to from a platform onto which the other subunits of the RNA polymerase assemble (D/L in archaea). The prokaryotic equivalent of the Rpb3/Rpb11 platform is the alpha-alpha dimer. The dimerization domain of the alpha subunit/Rpb3 is interrupted by an insert domain (pfam01000). Some of the alpha subunits also contain iron-sulphur binding domains (pfam00037). Rpb11 is found as a continuous domain. Members of this family include: alpha subunit from eubacteria, alpha subunits from chloroplasts, Rpb3 subunits from eukaryotes, Rpb11 subunits from eukaryotes, RpoD subunits from archaeal spp, and RpoL subunits from archaeal spp.

Bacterial RNA polymerase, alpha chain C terminal domain; The alpha subunit of RNA polymerase consists of two independently folded domains, referred to as amino-terminal and carboxyl terminal domains. The amino terminal domain is involved in the interaction with the other subunits of the RNA polymerase. The carboxyl-terminal domain interacts with the DNA and activators. The amino acid sequence of the alpha subunit is conserved in prokaryotic and chloroplast RNA polymerases. There are three regions of particularly strong conservation, two in the amino-terminal and one in the carboxyl- terminal.

(specific hits) are drawn in bright colors.
Others (non-specific hits) and
superfamily placeholders are drawn in pastel colors.

(labeled illustration) Four types of hits can be shown, as available,
for each region on the query sequence:
