DNA-directed RNA polymerase (kw:KW-0240)

Virally encoded protein (EC 2.7.7.6) which synthesizes RNA using DNA as a template. This enzyme activity might be necessary for the viral genome transcription of some viruses.

Links Uniprot Keyword: KW-0240

GO ontology: GO:0000428
Virus All these viruses have been shown to encode a viral DNA-directed RNA polymerase:



Ascoviridae

Asfarviridae

Baculoviridae

Possibly Myoviridae
