Category:GO:0001057 ! obsolete RNA polymerase IV activity

This GO term has been obsoleted. Do not annotate to it.

id: GO:0001057
name: obsolete RNA polymerase IV activity
namespace: molecular_function
def: "OBSOLETE. Catalysis of the reaction: nucleoside triphosphate + RNA(n) = diphosphate + RNA(n+1). Utilizes a DNA template that contains an RNA polymerase IV specific promoter to direct initiation and catalyses DNA-template-directed extension of the 3'-end of an RNA strand by one nucleotide at a time. Can initiate a chain 'de novo'." [GOC:txnOH]
comment: The reason for obsoletion is that this term is equivalent to DNA-directed 5'-3' RNA polymerase activity.
synonym: "DNA-directed RNA polymerase activity involved in transcription from RNA polymerase IV promoter" EXACT []
is_obsolete: true
replaced_by: GO:0003899 ! DNA-directed 5'-3' RNA polymerase activity
