| Description | Proteins in this family are a component of the helicase/primase complex. The helicase generates single stranded DNA by unwinding the double helix at the replication forks, and the primase synthesizes short RNA primers that the polymerase then elongates [ ]. The function of the proteins, which have no known catalytic activity, is unknown, but they have been shown to be distantly related to B-family polymerases with a substantial reduction in nucleotide binding sites and loss of the active site []. | Name | DNA helicase/primase complex-associated protein |
| Short Name | HSV_HEPA | Type | Family |
