UniProt code: Q86MV5.

Organism: Trypanosoma brucei brucei.
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Discoba; Euglenozoa; Kinetoplastea; Metakinetoplastina; Trypanosomatida; Trypanosomatidae; Trypanosoma.
 
Function: Terminal uridylyltransferase which, as part of the mitochondrial RNA editing core complex (RECC), is involved in the post- transcriptional editing of mitochondrial RNA, a process involving the addition and deletion of uridine (U) nucleotides in the pre-mRNA (PubMed:12820966, PubMed:19465686, PubMed:20362585). Specifically, catalyzes the addition of one U to single-stranded RNA with a preference for a 3'-terminal A or G and adds the number of Us specified by a guide RNA (gRNA) to precleaved double-stranded RNA editing substrates (PubMed:12820966, PubMed:19465686, PubMed:20362585, PubMed:16281058). Essential for the survival of the bloodstream form (PubMed:16281058). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12820966, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16281058, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19465686, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20362585}.

Cofactor: Name=Mg(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:18420; Evidence={ECO:0000305|PubMed:16281058}; Name=Mn(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:29035; Evidence={ECO:0000305|PubMed:16281058}; Note=Binds 1 Mg(2+) or Mn(2+) per subunit. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16281058};
Biophysicochemical properties: Kinetic parameters: KM=1.2 uM for UTP (with 6(U) single-stranded RNA as substrate) {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19465686}; KM=3.4 uM for UTP (with double-stranded RNA as substrate) {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19465686}; KM=2.5 uM for UTP (with RNA with no U in 3' position as substrate) {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19465686}; KM=12.6 uM for UTP (with double-stranded RNA with one U in 3' position as substrate) {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19465686}; Note=kcat is 0.0007 min(-1) with UTP and 6(U) single-stranded RNA as substrates (PubMed:19465686). kcat is 0.002 min(-1) with UTP and double-stranded RNA as substrates (PubMed:19465686). kcat is 0.02 min(-1) with UTP and with RNA with no U in 3' position as substrates (PubMed:20362585). kcat is 0.2 min(-1) with UTP and double-stranded RNA with one U in 3' position as substrates (PubMed:20362585). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19465686, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20362585};
Subunit: Component of the mitochondrial RNA editing core complex (RECC), also known as the editosome complex (PubMed:12820966, PubMed:12649499, PubMed:19465686, PubMed:20362585). Interacts (via middle domain) with MP81; the interaction enhances MP57 catalytic activity and probably recruits MP57 to the RECC complex (PubMed:12820966, PubMed:20362585). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12649499, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12820966, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19465686, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20362585}.
Subcellular location: Mitochondrion {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12649499, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12820966, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19465686}.
Disruption phenotype: RNAi-mediated knockdown in the procyclic form causes growth arrest. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20362585}.
Similarity: Belongs to the DNA polymerase type-B-like family. {ECO:0000305}.
