O'Brien (Research Article, 24 February 2017, eaag1789) proposed a novel mechanism of primase function based on redox activity of the iron-sulfur cluster buried inside the C-terminal domain of the large primase subunit (p58C). Serious problems in the experimental design and data interpretation raise concerns about the validity of the conclusions.
奥布赖恩(研究文章,2017年2月24日,eaag1789)基于埋藏在大型引发酶亚基(p58C)C末端结构域内的铁硫簇的氧化还原活性,提出了一种引发酶功能的新机制。实验设计和数据解读中的严重问题引发了对这些结论有效性的担忧。
