Protein
Poly(A) RNA polymerase cid12
Organism
Schizosaccharomyces pombe (strain 972 / ATCC 24843)
Function
Has a role in the RNA interference (RNAi) pathway which is important for heterochromatin formation and accurate chromosome segregation. A member of the RNA-directed RNA polymerase complex (RDRC) which is involved in the generation of small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) and mediate their association with the RNA-induced transcriptional silencing (RITS) complex. RITS acts as a priming complex for dsRNA synthesis at the site of non-coding centromeric RNA.
Similarity
Belongs to the DNA polymerase type-B-like family.
