The 3'-terminal CCA nucleotide sequence (positions 74-76) of transfer RNA, is essential for amino acid attachment and interaction with the ribosome, during protein synthesis. The CCA sequence is synthesized de novo and/or, repaired by a template-independent RNA polymerase, 'CCA-adding enzyme', using CTP and ATP as substrates. Despite structural and biochemical, studies, the mechanism by which the CCA-adding enzyme synthesizes the, defined sequence without a nucleic acid template remains elusive. Here we, present the crystal structure of Aquifex aeolicus CCA-adding enzyme, bound, to a primer tRNA lacking the terminal adenosine and an incoming ATP, analogue, at 2.8 A resolution. The enzyme enfolds the acceptor T helix of, the tRNA molecule. In the catalytic pocket, C75 is adjacent to ATP, and, their base moieties are stacked. The complementary pocket for recognizing, C74-C75 of tRNA forms a 'protein template' for the penultimate two, nucleotides, mimicking the nucleotide template used by template-dependent, polymerases. These results are supported by systematic analyses of, mutants. Our structure represents the 'pre-insertion' stage of selecting, the incoming nucleotide and provides the structural basis for the, mechanism underlying template-independent RNA polymerization.

[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>
