Abstract In eukaryotes, there are three different forms of DNA-dependent RNA polymerases transcribing different sets of genes. Each class of RNA polymerase is an assemblage of ten to twelve different polypeptides. In archaebacteria, there is generally a single form of RNA polymerase which also consists of an oligomeric assemblage of 10 to 13 polypeptides. Archaebacterial subunit N (gene rpoN) [PubMed7597027] is a small protein of about 8 kDa, it is evolutionary related [PubMed8045907] to a 8.3 kDa component shared by all three forms of eukaryotic RNA polymerases (gene RPB10 in yeast and POLR2J in mammals) as well as to African swine fever virus protein CP80R [PubMed11831707]. There is a conserved region which is located at the N-terminal extremity of these polymerase subunits; this region contains two cysteines that binds a zinc ion [PubMed10841539].

Browse genome assignments for this superfamily. The SUPERFAMILY hidden Markov model library has been used to carry out SCOP domain assignments to all genomes at the superfamily level.


Alignments of sequences to 2 models in this superfamily are available by clicking on the 'Alignments' icon above. PDB sequences less than 40% identical are shown by default, but any other sequence(s) may be aligned. Select PDB sequences, genome sequences, or paste in or upload your own sequences.


Browse and view proteins in genomes which have different domain combinations including a RNA polymerase subunit RPB10 domain.


Examine the distribution of domain superfamilies, or families, across the major taxonomic kingdoms or genomes within a kingdom. This gives an immediate impression of how superfamilies, or families, are restricted to certain kingdoms of life.


Explore domain occurrence network where nodes represent genomes and edges are domain architectures (shared between genomes) containing the superfamily of interest.

There are 2 hidden Markov models representing the RNA polymerase subunit RPB10 superfamily. Information on how the models are built, and plots showing hydrophobicity, match emmission probabilities and insertion/deletion probabilities can be inspected.
