Uridylyl transferases
INTRODUCTION
Terminal uridylyl transferases (TUTases) belong to a superfamily of polymerase ß nucleotidyl transferases.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag;
name cannot be a simple integer. Use a descriptive title TUTases have been isolated from Trypanosoma brucei and also Leishmania ssp, parasites causing diseases in humans such as African Sleeping Sickness.[1] 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.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag;
name cannot be a simple integer. Use a descriptive title
The bound ligand is an with two Mg2+ ions.
