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.
The bound ligand is an with two Mg2+ ions.
