== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/AATNT_AQUAE AATNT_AQUAE] 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).<ref>PMID:11701927</ref> <ref>PMID:25914059</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
The 3'-terminal CCA (C74C75A76-3') of tRNA is required for protein synthesis. In Aquifex aeolicus, the CCA-3' is synthesized by CC-adding and A-adding enzymes, although in most organisms, CCA is synthesized by a single CCA-adding enzyme. The mechanisms by which the A-adding enzyme adds only A76, but not C74C75, onto tRNA remained elusive. The complex structures of the enzyme with various tRNAs revealed the presence of a single tRNA binding site on the enzyme, with the enzyme measuring the acceptor-TPsiC helix length of tRNA. The 3'-C75 of tRNA lacking A76 can reach the active site and the size and shape of the nucleotide binding pocket at the insertion stage are suitable for ATP. The 3'-C74 of tRNA lacking C75A76 cannot reach the active site, although CTP or ATP can bind the active pocket. Thus, the A-adding enzyme adds only A76, but not C74C75, onto tRNA.
