Abstract excerpt
tRNAHis guanylyltransferase (Thg1) has unique reverse (3'-5') polymerase activity occurring in all three domains of life. Most eukaryotic Thg1 homologs are essential genes involved in tRNAHis maturation. These enzymes normally catalyze a single 5' guanylation of tRNAHis lacking the essential G-1 identity element required for aminoacylation. Recent studies suggest that archaeal type Thg1, which includes most...
