Reverse transcriptase (RT) component of antiviral defense system retron Vc95, composed of a non-coding RNA (ncRNA), this reverse transcriptase (RT), a probable ATPase and a putative HNH endonuclease. Expression of retron Vc95 confers protection against bacteriophages T2, T4 and T6. At multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 0.02 cultures slow growth when infected with T4 but do not collapse, at MOI 2 cultures enter growth stasis (PubMed:33157039). Responsible for synthesis of msDNA (a branched molecule with RNA linked by a 2',5'-phosphodiester bond to ssDNA). The retron transcript serves as primer (from a conserved internal G residue) and template for the reaction, and codes for the RT (By similarity). The DNA segment is predicted to be 95 bases long (Probable). a 2'-deoxyribonucleoside 5'-triphosphate + DNA(n) = diphosphate + DNA(n+1) Belongs to the bacterial reverse transcriptase family.
