Once the prepriming complex is loaded onto the replication forks, the next step is the recruitment of the primase, DnaG, which is then loaded onto the DnaB hexamer.

This entails release of DnaC, which allows the DnaB helicase to become active. DnaC hydrolyzes ATP in order to release DnaB. This step marks the transition from initiation to elongation.
