RNA Tailing by Nucleotidyltransferases in Plants: Mechanisms, Functions, and Biological Significance [PDF]

Plants
RNA 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.

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 ...

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

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.

Promiscuous splicing-derived hairpins are dominant substrates of tailing-mediated defense of miRNA biogenesis in mammals

Cell Reports, 2023
Summary: Canonical microRNA (miRNA) hairpins are processed by the RNase III enzymes Drosha and Dicer into ∼22 nt RNAs loaded into an Argonaute (Ago) effector.

Manipulation of mitochondrial poly(A) polymerase family proteins in Trypanosoma brucei impacts mRNA termini processing

Frontiers in Parasitology
RNA-specific nucleotidyltransferases (rNTrs) add nontemplated nucleotides to the 3′ end of RNA. Two noncanonical rNTRs that are thought to be poly(A) polymerases (PAPs) have been identified in the mitochondria of trypanosomes – KPAP1 and KPAP2.

Nutrient disturbance in a shallow aquaculture pond impacts Microcystis gene expression but does not impact bacterial community function during bloom conditions

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract Cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (cHABs) are worldwide issues. Reduced nitrogen forms (ammonium and urea) have recently been measured in freshwater systems at concentrations not previously recorded. These reduced nitrogen forms have been shown to favor the proliferation of harmful cyanobacteria.

Ro5‐4864, a ligand of the mitochondrial translocator protein, protects against heart failure in mice via regulation of the p62‐Keap1‐Nrf2 axis

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Graphical abstract of the proposed Ro5‐4864 mechanism of action via p62‐Keap1‐Nrf2 axis in heart failure. TSPO, the 18‐kDa mitochondrial translocator protein of the outer mitochondrial membrane, can directly interact with p62 (also known as SQSTM1), which is crucial for the degradation of damaged mitochondria by autophagy ...

Proteome Analysis of Corynebacterium diphtheriae–Macrophage Interaction

PROTEOMICS, Volume 26, Issue 8, Page 9-28, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Contact of Corynebacterium diphtheriae with macrophages induces adaptations on both bacterial and cellular sides. The study presented here was aiming to shed light on the simultaneous intracellular adaptation of the bacteria and changes in the proteome of the phagocytes in response to the internalization of C. diphtheriae.

Recent Advances in the Molecular Mechanisms of Bacterial Anti‐Phage Defence Systems

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 8, August 2026.
Panoptes as an example for an antiphage system consists of OptS producing a cyclic dinucleotide that prevents activation of OptE, a transmembrane protein. Phage T4 infection introduces the sponge protein Acb2 that adsorbs the cyclic dinucleotide thus activating OptE which disrupts the cell membrane aborting phage infection.
