Protein Domain : RNA 3'-terminal phosphate cyclase type 2 IPR016443

Type  Family
Description  RNA cyclases are a family of RNA-modifying enzymes that are conserved in eukaryotes, bacteria and archaea. Type 1 RNA 3'-terminal phosphate cyclases ( ) [ , ] catalyse the conversion of 3'-phosphate to a 2',3'-cyclic phosphodiester at the end of RNA:ATP + RNA 3'-terminal-phosphate = AMP + diphosphate + RNA terminal-2',3'-cyclic-phosphate The physiological function of the cyclase is not known, but the enzyme could be involved in the maintenance of cyclic ends in tRNA splicing intermediates or in the cyclisation of the 3' end of U6 snRNA [ ].A second subfamily of RNA 3'-terminal phosphate cyclases (type 2) that do not have cyclase activity have been identified in eukaryotes. They are localised to the nucleolus and are involved in ribosomal modification [ ].This entry represents the type 2 RNA 3'-terminal phosphate cyclases, also known as RNA'-terminal-phosphate-cyclase-like (Rcl) proteins [ ].
