How can you use “dna-dependent” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Assays for DNA-dependent ATPase and oligonucleotide unwinding were performed as before [ 10].
Possible functions of the YRH proteins include a regulatory activity via amplification of antisense RNAs or perhaps a more conventional role as a DNA-dependent RNA polymerase of the respective phages.
Examples include A6 kinases [ 17], a number of lipid kinase family members [ 18], aminoglycoside phosphotransferases [ 19], pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase family members [ 20], DNA-dependent protein kinase [ 21], ATM [ 22], ATR [ 23], BCR [ 24, 25], a transient receptor potential channel [ 26] and actin-fragmin kinases [ 27].
The RDRPs of RNA viruses define one major lineage of nucleic acid polymerases, which additionally includes reverse transcriptases, archaeo-eukaryotic DNA polymerases, and nucleotide cyclases [ 8 9 10 11 12 13 ] . The DNA-dependent RNA polymerase of certain bacteriophages, such as T7, and the archaeo-eukaryotic primase (also detected in some bacteria) are divergent derivatives of the same fold [ 11 14 ] . The core catalytic domain of all these enzymes, the so-called "palm" domain, has an RNA-recognition motif (RRM)-like fold with strategically placed metal-coordinating residues, which form the active site [ 11 15 16 ] . In contrast, bacterial DnaG-type primases (also present in archaea and some eukaryotes) contain a polymerase domain of the Rossmann-like TOPRIM fold, which is shared with topoisomerases and OLD-family nucleases [ 17 18 19 ] . The recently solved structures of the DDRPs from yeast and the thermophilic bacterium Thermus thermophilus indicate that the β' subunit (according to the subunit nomenclature of Escherichia coli DDRP, which we hereinafter employ to designate all orthologs of the respective E. coli subunits) of these enzymes defines another distinct catalytic scaffold, which is unrelated to any of the above template-dependent RNA polymerases [ 20 21 22 23 24 ] . Additionally, the structural and evolutionary affinities of two other template-dependent RNA polymerases, namely RDRPs involved in PTGS [ 25 26 27 ] and primases of herpesviruses [ 28 ] , remain obscure.
So far, the genes targeted for siRNA-mediated PTGS have been cellular in origin and thus, the mRNAs were transcribed in the nucleus by cellular DNA-dependent RNA polymerase.
