Protein
DNA polymerase processivity factor
Organism
Varicella-zoster virus (strain Oka vaccine)
Function
Plays an essential role in viral DNA replication by acting as the polymerase accessory subunit. Associates with the viral polymerase to increase its processivity and forms high-affinity direct interactions with DNA. Facilitates the origin-binding protein loading onto DNA thus increasing its ability to assemble into a functional complex capable of unwinding duplex DNA (By similarity).
Similarity
Belongs to the herpesviridae DNA polymerase processivity factor family.
