Enzyme Information

2.7.7.72
CCA tRNA nucleotidyltransferase.
based on mapping to UniProt Q7SIB1
A tRNA precursor + 2 CTP + ATP = a tRNA with a 3' CCA end + 3 diphosphate.
-!- The acylation of all tRNAs with an amino acid occurs at the terminal ribose of a 3' CCA sequence. -!- The CCA sequence is added to the tRNA precursor by stepwise nucleotide addition performed by a single enzyme that is ubiquitous in all living organisms. -!- Although the enzyme has the option of releasing the product after each addition, it prefers to stay bound to the product and proceed with the next addition. -!- Formerly EC 2.7.7.21 and EC 2.7.7.25.
