Thus, these comparisons identify previously undetected prokaryotic homologs of the eukaryotic RDRPs, the YRH proteins, which probably also have RNA-dependent RNA polymerase activity.
Indeed, it has been estimated that the deleterious mutation rate in viruses that replicate using RNA polymerases (either reverse transcriptase in the case of retroviruses or RNA-dependent RNA polymerase for other RNA viruses) is on the order of one error per replication cycle, so that many of the viral progeny produced by replication are defective (Elena and Moya 1999).
Genetic heterogeneity is a hallmark of RNA viruses in general, and the hepatitis C virus (HCV) in particular, due to the lack of fidelity of viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerases [ 1 2 ] . In HCV, this genetic diversity has been organized into six major genotypes and numerous subtypes (over 80).
The DNA-dependent RNA polymerases (DDRPs) involved in the transcription of cellular and DNA viral genes, primases, and RNA-dependent RNA polymerases (RDRPs) of RNA viruses and cellular PTGS systems are template-dependent polymerases.
In addition to forging a link between RNA virus resistance and PTGS, this study included a remarkably prescient model for PTGS that featured an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RDR), small RNAs, and dsRNA, all of which were later found to be important for the RNAi.
