| Function
RNA uridylyltransferase or terminal uridylyltransferase or TUTase (TUT) catalyzes the addition of uridine to RNA. TUT acts as a suppressor of microRNA synthesis by mediating its terminal uridylation[1]. For additional details on TUT-4 see Terminal Uridylyl Transferase.
- Drosophila melanogaster TUTase is called TUTase Tailor. It is forming the uridylation-mediated processing complex which degrades a variety ofncRNAs in the cytoplasm [2],.[3]
Structural highlights
TUT-4 active site contains UTP, UMP and Mg+2 ions[4]. Water molecules are shown as red spheres. Mg coordination site.
