2.7.7.56 |
| Accepted name: |
tRNA nucleotidyltransferase |
| Reaction: |
tRNAn+1 + phosphate = tRNAn + a nucleoside diphosphate |
| Other name(s): |
phosphate-dependent exonuclease; RNase PH; ribonuclease PH |
| Systematic name: |
tRNA:phosphate nucleotidyltransferase |
| Comments: |
Brings about the final exonucleolytic trimming of the 3′-terminus of tRNA precursors in Escherichia coli by a phosphorolysis, producing a mature 3′-terminus on tRNA and nucleoside diphosphate. Not identical with EC 2.7.7.8 polyribonucleotide nucleotidyltransferase. |
