| RNA tumour viruses | Virus's of the subfamily Oncovirinae. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| RNA-tyrosine phosphatase | <enzyme> Hela cell enzyme which removes 5'-terminal protein from poliovirus RNA by breaking the tyrosine-phosphate bond between the above two entities Registry number: EC 3.1.4.- Synonym: uridylyl-(5'p-o)-tyrosine phosphodiesterase, y-pupnpde, tyrosine-RNA phosphatase, uridylylpolynucleotide-(5'p-o)-tyrosine phosphodiesterase (26 Jun 1999) |
| RNA, viral | Ribonucleic acid that makes up the genetic material of viruses. (12 Dec 1998) |
| RNA virus | A group of virus's in which the core consists of RNA; a major group of animal virus's that includes the families Picornaviridae, Reoviridae, Togaviridae, Flaviviridae, Bunyaviridae, Arenaviridae, Paramyxoviridae, Retroviridae, Coronaviridae, Orthomyxoviridae, and Rhabdoviridae. Synonym: ribovirus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| RNA viruses | Viruses whose genetic material is RNA. (12 Dec 1998) |
| guide RNA | <molecular biology> Small RNA molecules that hybridise to specific mRNAs and direct their RNA editing. (18 Nov 1997) |
| chromosomal RNA | RNA associated with the chromosome (not mRNA, tRNA, or rRNA) that may have a role in transcription. (05 Mar 2000) |
| monocistronic RNA | <molecular biology> A messenger RNA that gives a single polypeptide chain when translated. All eukaryote mRNAs are monocistronic, but some bacterial mRNAs are polycistronic especially those transcribed from operons. (18 Nov 1997) |
| polymerase, DNA or RNA | Enzymes that catalyse the synthesis of nucleic acids on pre-existing nucleic acid templates, assembling RNA from ribonucleotides or DNA from deoxyribonucleotides. (05 Mar 2000) |
| polymerase, RNA | Enzyme that catalyses (speeds) the polymerization of RNA. Rna polymerase uses preexisting nucleic acid templates and assembles the RNA from ribonucleotides. (12 Dec 1998) |
| positive strand RNA viruses | Class IV and VI viruses that have a single stranded RNA genome that can act as mRNA plus strand) and in which the virus RNA is itself infectious. Includes Picornaviridae, Togaviridae and Retroviridae. (18 Nov 1997) |
| CTP-RNA cytidylyltransferase | <enzyme> Catalyses addition of cmp residue to 3'-ends of oligonucleotide primers Registry number: EC 2.7.7.- Synonym: terminal cytidylyltransferase (26 Jun 1999) |
| pre-ribosomal RNA endoribonuclease | <enzyme> Substrate is pre-rrna Registry number: EC 3.1.26.- Synonym: pre-rrna endoribonuclease (26 Jun 1999) |
| prolyl T RNA synthetase | <enzyme> Minor descriptor (75-84); on-line and index medicus search amino acyl t RNA synthetases (75-84) Registry number: EC 6.1.1.15 Synonym: l-proline-trna-pro ligase (AMP-forming) (26 Jun 1999) |
| satellite RNA | <molecular biology> A small, self-splicing RNA molecule that accompanies several plant viruses, including tobaccoringspot virus. (09 Oct 1997) |
