Abstract excerpt
Tpt1 catalyzes the transfer of an internal 2'-monophosphate moiety (2'-PO4) from a "branched" 2'-PO4 RNA splice junction to NAD+ to form a "clean" 2'-OH, 3'-5' phosphodiester junction, ADP-ribose 1″-2″ cyclic phosphate, and nicotinamide. First discovered as an essential component of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae tRNA splicing machinery, Tpt1 is widely distributed in nature, including in taxa that have no...
