UniProt functional annotation for O28126

UniProt code: O28126.

Organism: Archaeoglobus fulgidus (strain ATCC 49558 / VC-16 / DSM 4304 / JCM 9628 / NBRC 100126).
Taxonomy: Archaea; Euryarchaeota; Archaeoglobi; Archaeoglobales; Archaeoglobaceae; Archaeoglobus.
 
Function: Catalyzes the addition and repair of the essential 3'- terminal CCA sequence in tRNAs without using a nucleic acid template. Adds these three nucleotides in the order of C, C, and A to the tRNA nucleotide-73, using CTP and ATP as substrates and producing inorganic pyrophosphate. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14592988}.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=a tRNA precursor + ATP + 2 CTP = a tRNA with a 3' CCA end + 3 diphosphate; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:14433, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:10465, Rhea:RHEA- COMP:10468, ChEBI:CHEBI:30616, ChEBI:CHEBI:33019, ChEBI:CHEBI:37563, ChEBI:CHEBI:74896, ChEBI:CHEBI:83071; EC=2.7.7.72;
Cofactor: Name=Mg(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:18420; Evidence={ECO:0000305};
Subunit: Homodimer. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14592988, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14636575}.
Miscellaneous: A single active site specifically recognizes both ATP and CTP and is responsible for their addition. In contrast to the eubacterial homologs, the specificity of the nucleotide-binding pocket is determined by both the enzyme and the tRNA.
Similarity: Belongs to the tRNA nucleotidyltransferase/poly(A) polymerase family. Archaeal CCA-adding enzyme subfamily. {ECO:0000305}.
