EC 3.1.4.58

Accepted name: RNA 2',3'-cyclic 3'-phosphodiesterase

Reaction: (ribonucleotide)n-2',3'-cyclic phosphate + H2O = (ribonucleotide)n-2'-phosphate

Other name(s): thpR (gene name); ligT (gene name)

Systematic name: (ribonucleotide)n-2',3'-cyclic phosphate 3'-nucleotidohydrolase

Comments: The enzyme hydrolyses RNA 2',3'-cyclic phosphodiester to an RNA 2'-phosphomonoester. In vitro the enzyme can also ligate tRNA molecules with 2',3'-cyclic phosphate to tRNA with 5'-hydroxyl termini, forming a 2'-5' phosphodiester linkage. However, the ligase activity is unlikely to be relevant in vivo.
