Adaptation of the <i>Romanomermis culicivorax</i> CCA-Adding Enzyme to Miniaturized Armless tRNA Substrates

Adaptation of the <i>Romanomermis culicivorax</i> CCA-Adding Enzyme to Miniaturized Armless tRNA Substrates

The mitochondrial genome of the nematode <i>Romanomermis culicivorax</i> encodes for miniaturized hairpin-like tRNA molecules that lack D- as well as T-arms, strongly deviating from the consensus cloverleaf. The single tRNA nucleotidyltransferase of this organism is fully active on armle...
