Catalyses DNA-template-directed extension of the 3′- end of an RNA strand by one nucleotide at a time. Can initiate a chain de novo. In eukaryotes, three forms of the enzyme have been distinguished on the basis of sensitivity to α-amanitin, and the type of RNA synthesized. See also EC 2.7.7.19 (polynucleotide adenylyltransferase) and EC 2.7.7.48 (RNA-directed RNA polymerase).
The taxonomic range for the selected organisms is: Pseudomonas aeruginosa The enzyme appears in selected viruses and cellular organisms

Substrates: the enzyme is able to use a variety of DNA templates. DNA from bacteriphage phiPLS27 is transcribed more efficiently than DNA isolated from lamda or herring sperm. DNA isolated from bacteriophage T7 and T7 D111 is utilized more efficiently Products: -
Substrates: molecular mechanisms enabling sigma factor PvdS, directing the transcription of pyoverdine and virulence genes under iron limitation, to compete with the major sigma RpoD for RNA polymerase binding, overview Products: -
Substrates: bacterial anti-sigma factors typically regulate sigma factor function by restricting the access of their cognate sigma-factors to the RNA polymerase RNAP core enzyme, regulation of RNAP holoenzyme, Esigma70, involving Rsd and the Rsd orthologue AlgQ, a global regulator of gene expression in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which simultaneously interact with conserved region 2 and region 4 of sigma70 mediated by separate surfaces of Rsd, interaction with mutants of Rsd and AlgQ, mechanism, detailed overview. Rsd can strongly regulate the production of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa virulence factor pyocyanin in a manner that depends on their abilities to interact with sigma70 region 2 Products: -
