RNA Tailing by Nucleotidyltransferases in Plants: Mechanisms, Functions, and Biological Significance [PDF]
PlantsRNA tailing, the non-templated addition of nucleotides to RNA 3′ ends, is a conserved post-transcriptional modification that plays a critical role in regulating RNA metabolism.

A Phylogeny of Bacterial RNA Nucleotidyltransferases: Bacillus halodurans Contains Two tRNA Nucleotidyltransferases [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 2005 ABSTRACT We have analyzed the distribution of RNA nucleotidyltransferases from the family that includes poly(A) polymerases (PAP) and tRNA nucleotidyltransferases (TNT) in 43 bacterial species. Genes of several bacterial species encode only one member of the nucleotidyltransferase superfamily (NTSF), and if that protein functions

Molecular mechanisms of template-independent RNA polymerization by tRNA nucleotidyltransferases [PDF]
Frontiers in Genetics, 2014 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 ...

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1990 The 3'-terminal tRNA-like structure of the tobacco mosaic virus RNA interacts with ATP/CTP:tRNA nucleotidyltransferases from Escherichia coli or yeast in much the same manner as do tRNAs. Primary sites of interaction cluster near the 3' end and in the loop proposed to be analogous to the psi-loop of a tRNA.

The Battle for Survival: The Role of RNA Non-Canonical Tails in the Virus–Host Interaction
Metabolites, 2023 Terminal nucleotidyltransferases (TENTs) could generate a ‘mixed tail’ or ‘U-rich tail’ consisting of different nucleotides at the 3′ end of RNA by non-templated nucleotide addition to protect or degrade cellular messenger RNA.

TYMV RNA As a substrate of the tRNA nucleotidyltransferase [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 1970 It has been recently shown that in the presence of partly purified enzyme preparations from Escherichia coli and ATP. lhe RNA (M.W. = 2 × 106) of Turnip Yellow Mosaic Virus (TYMV) reacts with valine forming an ester bond analogous to that existing in aminoacyltRNA: lhe valine estcrifies the., -terminal adenosine ofTYMV RNA II. 21.

Functions and mechanisms of
WIREs RNA, 2020 AbstractTermini often determine the fate of RNA molecules. In recent years, 3′ ends of almost all classes of RNA species have been shown to acquire nontemplated nucleotides that are added by terminal nucleotidyltransferases (TENTs). The best‐described role of 3′ tailing is the bulk polyadenylation of messenger RNAs in the cell nucleus that is catalyzed

The influence of spermidine on the reaction of RNA nucleotidyltransferase
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Nucleic Acids and Protein Synthesis, 1968 Abstract 1. 1. RNA synthesis, catalyzed by RNA nucleotidyltransferase ( Escherichia coli B) and directed by native, double-stranded DNA, is significantly increased by spermidine. 2. 2. By use of doubly labeled ATP ([8- 14 C]- and [γ- 32 P]-) and by zone centrifugation, we could show that, in the presence of spermidine, more RNA chains are ...

RNA minihelices as model substrates for ATP/CTP:tRNA nucleotidyltransferase [PDF]
Biochemical Journal, 1997 Twenty-one RNA minihelices, resembling the coaxially stacked acceptor- /T-stems and T-loop found along the top of a tRNA's three-dimensional structure, were synthesized and used as substrates for ATP/CTP:tRNA nucleotidyltransferases from Escherichia coli and Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
