Molecular mechanisms of template-independent RNA polymerization by tRNA nucleotidyltransferases

Molecular mechanisms of template-independent RNA polymerization by tRNA nucleotidyltransferases

The universal 3'-terminal CCA sequence of tRNA is built and/or synthesized by the CCA-adding enzyme, CTP:(ATP) tRNA nucleotidyltransferase. This RNA polymerase has no nucleic acid template, but faithfully synthesizes the defined CCA sequence on the 3'-terminus of tRNA at one time, using CT...
