DNA-dependent RNA polymerase catalyzes the transcription of RNA from a DNA template. The DNA-dependent eukaryote RNAP[1] are divided to RNAP I (or Pol I) which transcribes ribosomal RNA[2]; RNAP II (or Pol II) transcribes DNA and most snRNA and microRNA[3]; RNAP III (or Pol III) transcribes tRNA and 5S ribosomal RNA[4]. DNA primase (DNAP) is RNAP which catalyzes the synthesis of the RNA primer which complements an ssDNA template and initiates DNA synthesis[5]. dnaG is a bacterial primase[6].

Molecular Playground/Human mtRNA pol. Beta-Prime Subunit of Bacterial RNA Polymerase Transcription and RNA Processing. RNA-dependent RNA polymerase catalyzes the replication of RNA from a RNA template[7]. An example is the Influenza virus RNA polymerase which is composed of 3 subunits. Subunit PA is involved in cap-snatching. Subunit PB1 is involved in RNA synthesis. Subunit PB2 is involved in RNA replication and transcription. It is implicated in endonuclease cleavage of RNA primers. (1qln; blue: nontemplate strand; cyan: template strand; red:RNA). See also RNA-directed RNA polymerase.
