Abstract excerpt
Ribonucleases H or RNases H are conserved and exist in almost every organism. They generate and remove RNA primers, which are required for DNA replication. RNases H hydrolyze RNA in RNA-DNA hybrids. RNases H and related enzymes contribute to reduction of gene expression in antisense and small-interfering RNA mechanisms for gene silencing. Retroviruses code for RNases H, which are required for DNA provirus...
