Bacterial reverse transcriptase is responsible for the synthesis of multicopy single-stranded DNA (msDNA). Reverse transcriptases from retron-Ec73 and retron-Ec107 do not contain an RNase H domain. Cellular RNase H is therefore considered to be required to make the mature form of msDNA. We found that RNase HI, but not RNase HII, is required for the production of the mature form of both msDNAs.
细菌逆转录酶负责多拷贝单链DNA(msDNA)的合成。来自逆转录子Ec73和逆转录子Ec107的逆转录酶不包含核糖核酸酶H结构域。因此,细胞核糖核酸酶H被认为是产生成熟形式的msDNA所必需的。我们发现,核糖核酸酶HI而非核糖核酸酶HII是产生两种msDNA成熟形式所必需的。
