Abstract excerpt
The RNA methyltransferase Hen1 and the RNA end-healing/sealing enzyme Pnkp comprise an RNA repair system encoded by an operon-like cassette present in bacteria from eight different phyla. Clostridium thermocellum Hen1 (CthHen1) is a manganese-dependent RNA ribose 2'O-methyltransferase that marks the 3' terminal nucleoside of broken RNAs and protects repair junctions from iterative damage by transesterifying...
