RNA 3'-terminal phosphate cyclase

UniProtKB accession:  P46849

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Catalyzes the conversion of 3'-phosphate to a 2',3'-cyclic phosphodiester at the end of RNA. The mechanism of action of the enzyme occurs in 3 steps: (A) adenylation of the enzyme by ATP; (B) transfer of adenylate to an RNA-N3'P to produce RNA-N3'PP5'A; (C) and attack of the adjacent 2'-hydroxyl on the 3'-phosphorus in the diester linkage to produce the cyclic end product. Likely functions in some aspects of cellular RNA processing.
