7 第11章 RNA的生物合成.pptVIP

In the biosphere, there are two ways of synthesis of RNA : ?One is transcription（转录）, DNA-dependent RNA synthesis， catalyzed by DNA-dependent RNA polymerase Another is RNA replication, RNA-dependent RNA synthesis, catalyzed by RNA-dependent RNA polymerase，Commonly found in RNA viruses other than retroviruses (逆转录病毒） Similarity between replication and transcription Both processes use DNA as the template. Phosphodiester bonds are formed in both cases. Both synthesis directions are from 5′ to 3′. Obey base pairing rules The processes of gene expression are different in prokaryotes and eukar
