| UniProt functional annotation for O66728 | |||
| UniProt code: O66728. |
| Organism: | Aquifex aeolicus (strain VF5). | |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Aquificae; Aquificales; Aquificaceae; Aquifex. | |
| Function: | tRNA nucleotidyltransferase involved in the synthesis of the tRNA CCA terminus. Adds the terminal adenosine residue to tRNA (PubMed:11701927, PubMed:25914059). Can incorporate CMP into tRNA ending with C74C75 (tRNACC), with very weak efficiency (PubMed:25914059). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11701927, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25914059}. | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=a tRNA with a 3' CC end + ATP = a tRNA with a 3' CCA end + diphosphate; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:60012, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:10468, Rhea:RHEA- COMP:15488, ChEBI:CHEBI:30616, ChEBI:CHEBI:33019, ChEBI:CHEBI:83069, ChEBI:CHEBI:83071; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:11701927, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25914059}; PhysiologicalDirection=left-to-right; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:60013; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:11701927, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25914059}; | |
| Cofactor: | Name=Mg(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:18420; Evidence={ECO:0000305|PubMed:25914059}; | |
| Biophysicochemical properties: | Kinetic parameters: KM=98 uM for ATP {ECO:0000269|PubMed:25914059}; KM=220 uM for CTP {ECO:0000269|PubMed:25914059}; Note=kcat is 0.10 min(-1) for incorporation of AMP into tRNACC. kcat is 0.00015 min(-1) for incorporation of CMP into tRNACC. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:25914059}; | |
| Domain: | Adopts a seahorse-like shape and consists of four domains: head, neck, body, and tail. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:25914059, ECO:0000305|PubMed:15295603}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the tRNA nucleotidyltransferase/poly(A) polymerase family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
