ATP | in the presence of high levels of ATP (ATP:dATP molar ratio of 10:1), dAMP incorporation is stimulated 3-fold, although the size of dAMP-labeled products formed is reduced | Thermococcus kodakarensis |

dATP | synthesis of the short RNA chains is inhibited at all levels of dATP added, and the size of oligo(rA) chains formed and the amount of ATP incorporated are reduced | Thermococcus kodakarensis | |
dGTP | dGTP at a molar ratio of dGTP to dATP or rATP of 10:1 inhibits both DNA and RNA synthesis. Lower molar ratios of dGTP:rATP (0.1:1) inhibit ATP incorporation by 91%, whereas dATP incorporation is reduced by 8% | Thermococcus kodakarensis | |
GTP | dGTP at a molar ratio of dGTP to dATP or rATP of 10:1 reduces dATP incorporation by 43% and ATP incorporation by 92% | Thermococcus kodakarensis | |
Mn2+ | RNA synthesis with the Thermococcus kodakaraensis primase complex is stimulated about 2fold by the presence of Mn2+, whereas the size of RNA chains is marginally affected. DNA synthesis is slightly inhibited by Mn2+ | Thermococcus kodakarensis |

ATP + ATP | oligo(dT)30 supports extensive DNA and RNA synthesis. Oligo(dT)30 supports the synthesis of shorter RNA chains than those formed in the presence of oligo(dC)30 as well as the production of higher levels of RNA than DNA | Thermococcus kodakarensis | A(pA)n + n diphosphate | - |

dGTP + n dGTP | oligo(dC)30 supports extensive DNA and RNA synthesis. Of the four homo-oligodeoxynucleotides, 30 nt in length oligo(dC)30 is the most effective template supporting extensive DNA synthesis with dGTP. dGTP incorporation exceeds the level of oligo(dC)30 template added, and the lengths of DNA chains are 100 nt | Thermococcus kodakarensis | dG(pdG)n + n diphosphate | - |

dNTP + n dNTP | the enzyme supports both DNA and RNA synthesis, whereas the p41 subunit alone marginally produces RNA and synthesizes DNA chains that are longer than those formed by the complex. The primase complex preferentially interacts with dNTP rather than ribonucleoside triphosphates and initiates RNA as well as DNA chains de novo. The archaeal primase complex, in contrast to the eukaryote homolog, can initiate DNA chain synthesis in the absence of ribonucleoside triphosphates. DNA primers formed by the archaeal complex can be elongated extensively by the Thermococcus kodakaraensis DNA polymerase (Pol) B, whereas DNA primers formed by the p41 catalytic subunit alone are not | Thermococcus kodakarensis | dN(pdN)n + n diphosphate | - |
