EC 2.7.7.88

Accepted name: GDP polyribonucleotidyltransferase

Reaction: (5')pppAACA-[mRNA] + GDP = diphosphate + G(5')pppAACA-[mRNA] (overall reaction)
(1a) (5')pppAACA-[mRNA] + [protein L]-L-histidine = diphosphate + [protein L]-L-histidyl-(5')phosphonato-AACA-[mRNA] + H2O
(1b) [protein L]-L-histidyl-(5')phosphonato-AACA-[mRNA] + GDP + H2O = [protein L]-L-histidine + G(5')pppAACA-[mRNA]

Other name(s): PRNTase; 5'-triphospho-mRNA:GDP 5'-phosphopolyribonucleotidyltransferase [G(5')ppp-mRNA-forming]

Systematic name: (5')pppAACA-[mRNA]:GDP 5'-phosphopolyribonucleotidyltransferase [(5')pppAACA-[mRNA]-forming]

Comments: The enzyme from non-segmented negative strain (NNS) viruses (e.g. rhabdoviruses and lyssaviruses) is specific for mRNAs with sequences starting with AACA. cf. EC 2.7.7.50, mRNA guanylyltransferase.
