Systematic name
tRNA:phosphate nucleotidyltransferase
CAS registry number
116412-36-3
Comment
Brings about the final exonucleolytic trimming of the 3′-terminus of tRNA precursors in Escherichia coli by a phosphorolysis, producing a mature 3′-terminus on tRNA and nucleoside diphosphate. Not identical with EC 2.7.7.8 polyribonucleotide nucleotidyltransferase.
