Uridylyl transferases
INTRODUCTION
Terminal uridylyl transferases (TUTases) belong to a superfamily of polymerase ß nucleotidyl transferases.[1] TUTases have been isolated from Trypanosoma brucei and also Leishmania ssp, parasites causing diseases in humans such as African Sleeping Sickness.[2] Trypanosomal TUTases have RNA substrates that are shown to select for cognate nucleosides and provide a metal ion binding site for Mg2+ ions. TUTases function in RNA editing; they add UMP to the 3' hydroxyl group.[1]
STRUCTURE
The bound ligand is an with two Mg2+ ions.
