Abstract excerpt
Polyuridylation is emerging as a ubiquitous post-translational modification with important roles in multiple aspects of RNA metabolism. These poly (U) tails are added by poly (U) polymerases with homology to poly (A) polymerases; nevertheless, the selection for UTP over ATP remains enigmatic. We report the structures of poly (U) polymerase Cid1 from Schizoscaccharomyces pombe alone and in complex with UTP, CTP,...
