Poly-A polymerase (polynucleotide adenylytransferase, EC 2.7.7.19) is the enzyme responsible for adding a polyadenine tail to the 3' end of a nascent pre-mRNA transcript. Its substrates are ATP and RNA. The poly(A) tail that poly-A polymerase adds to the 3' end of the pre-mRNA transcript is important for nuclear export, translation and stability of the mRNA.
