In enzymology, a RNA uridylyltransferase (EC 2.7.7.52) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are UTP and RNAn, whereas its two products are diphosphate and RNAn+1.
This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those transferring phosphorus-containing nucleotide groups (nucleotidyltransferases). The systematic name of this enzyme class is UTP:RNA uridylyltransferase. Other names in common use include terminal uridylyltransferase, and TUT.
Structural studies
As of late 2007, 8 structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes 2E5G, 2IKF, 2NOM, 2Q0C, 2Q0D, 2Q0E, 2Q0F, and 2Q0G.
