EC 2.7.7.102     
Accepted name: DNA primase AEP
Reaction: (1) ssDNA + n NTP = ssDNA/pppN(pN)n-1 hybrid + (n-1) diphosphate
(2) ssDNA + n dNTP = ssDNA/pppdN(pdN)n-1 hybrid + (n-1) diphosphate
Other name(s): archaeo-eukaryotic primase; AEP; PrimPol
Systematic name: (deoxy)nucleotide 5′-triphosphate:single-stranded DNA (deoxy)nucleotidyltransferase (DNA or DNA-RNA hybrid synthesizing)
Comments: The enzyme, which is found in eukaryota and archaea, catalyses the synthesis of short RNA or DNA sequences which are used as primers for EC 2.7.7.7, DNA-directed DNA polymerase.
