Disease
PAPD1_HUMAN Autosomal recessive spastic ataxia - optic atrophy - dysarthria. The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry. MTPAP mutations result in a defect of mitochondrial mRNA maturation. Affected individuals exhibit a drastic decrease in poly(A) tail length of mitochondrial mRNA transcripts, including COX1 and RNA14 (PubMed:20970105).[1]
Function
PAPD1_HUMAN Polymerase that creates the 3' poly(A) tail of mitochondrial transcripts. Can use all four nucleotides, but has higher activity with ATP and UTP (in vitro). Plays a role in replication-dependent histone mRNA degradation. May be involved in the terminal uridylation of mature histone mRNAs before their degradation is initiated. Might be responsible for the creation of some UAA stop codons which are not encoded in mtDNA.[2] [3] [4] [5] [6]
