Specific Function: | Catalyzes the addition and repair of the essential 3'- terminal CCA sequence in tRNAs without using a nucleic acid template. Adds these three nucleotides in the order of C, C, and A to the tRNA nucleotide-73, using CTP and ATP as substrates and producing inorganic pyrophosphate. Also shows highest phosphatase activity in the presence of Ni(2+) and hydrolyzes pyrophosphate, canonical 5'-nucleoside tri- and diphosphates, NADP, and 2'-AMP with the production of Pi. Displays a metal-independent phosphodiesterase activity toward 2',3'-cAMP, 2',3'-cGMP, and 2',3'-cCMP. Without metal or in the presence of Mg(2+), this protein hydrolyzes 2',3'-cyclic substrates with the formation of 2'-nucleotides, whereas in the presence of Ni(2+), it also produces some 3'-nucleotides. These phosphohydrolase activities are probably involved in the repair of the tRNA 3'-CCA terminus degraded by intracellular RNases |
