UniProtKB accession:  C7AJA4

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Terminal uridylyltransferase which, as part of the mitochondrial RNA editing core-like complex (RECC-like), is involved in the post-transcriptional editing of mitochondrial RNA, a process involving the addition and deletion of uridine (U) nucleotides in the pre-mRNA (PubMed:19465686). Specifically, catalyzes the addition of U to single-stranded RNA with a preference for a 3'-terminal U and adds the number of Us specified by a guide RNA (gRNA) to precleaved double-stranded RNA editing substrates (PubMed:19465686, PubMed:20403364). Essential for insect and bloodstream developmental forms viability (PubMed:19465686).
