Gene Ontology Information

Protein Name	Rpo41p
Description	Mitochondrial RNA polymerase; single subunit enzyme similar to those of T3 and T7 bacteriophages; requires a specificity subunit encoded by MTF1 for promoter recognition; Mtf1p interacts with and stabilizes the Rpo41p-promoter complex, enhancing DNA bending and melting to facilitate pre-initiation open complex formation; Rpo41p also synthesizes RNA primers for mitochondrial DNA replication
GO Terms: Biological Process	level 7: DNA replication, synthesis of RNA primer level 7: DNA-templated transcription level 7: mitochondrial genome maintenance level 7: mitochondrial transcription
GO Terms: Molecular Function	level 3: transferase activity level 5: nucleotidyltransferase activity level 5: DNA binding level 7: mitochondrial promoter sequence-specific DNA binding level 7: DNA-directed 5'-3' RNA polymerase activity level 8: DNA primase activity
GO Terms: Cellular Component	level 3: cytoplasm level 4: mitochondrion level 4: mitochondrial DNA-directed RNA polymerase complex level 4: mitochondrial nucleoid level 5: mitochondrial matrix level 5: DNA-directed RNA polymerase complex
