RNA polymerases catalyse the DNA dependent polymerisation of RNA. Prokaryotes contain a single RNA polymerase compared to three in eukaryotes (not including mitochondrial. and chloroplast polymerases). Rpb2 is the second largest subunit of the RNA polymerase. This domain forms one of the two distinctive lobes of the Rpb2 structure. This domain is also known as the lobe domain [1].

This is OB domain found in RPA43 proteins (DNA-directed RNA polymerase I subunit RPA43, also known as A43) in yeast. Functional analysis of RNA polymerase I show that, subunits A14 and A43 form the heterodimer A14/43, which is distantly related to Rpb4/7 in Pol II and C17/25 in Pol III [1]. Crystal structure analysis show that A43-A14 heterodimer forms the stalk that provides a platform for initiation factors and interacts with newly synthesized RNA [3].
