摘要

There is little relationship between eukaryotic RNA-directed RNA polymerases (RDRs), viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerases (RdRps) and DNA-dependent RNA polymerases, indicating that RDRs evolved as an independent class of enzymes early in evolution. In fungi, plants and several animal systems, RDRs play a key role in RNA-mediated gene silencing [post-transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS) in plants and RNA interference (RNAi) in non-plants] and are indispensable for heterochromatin formation, at least, in Schizosaccharomyces pombe and plants. Recent findings indicate that PTGS, RNAi and heterochromatin formation not only function as host defence mechanisms against invading nucleic acids but are also involved in natural gene regulation. RDRs are required for these processes, initiating a broad interest in this enzyme class.
