TABLE 1.

DNA templates used in oligoribonucleotide synthesis assay

The basic primase recognition site 5′-GTC-3′ at which the diribonucleotide pppAC is synthesized is indicated in boldface type. The complete primase recognition sites at which the tetraribonucleotides are synthesized are underlined. Template 2 lacks the cryptic cytosine necessary for primase recognition.
