A new functional class of nucleic acids is postulated on the basis of the multiallelic incompatibility system regulating sexual morphogenesis in the higher fungi. A physical-chemical basis for distinguishing molecules active, as opposed to inactive, in promoting morphogenesis is established by the secondary structure of the resultant nucleic acid duplexes. This regulatory mechanism may be of broad import.
在调控高等真菌有性形态发生的复等位基因不相容性系统基础上,提出了一类新的核酸功能类别。通过对形成的核酸双链体的二级结构,建立了区分促进形态发生的活性分子与非活性分子的理化基础。该调控机制可能具有广泛的意义。
