in complex with a human MenBeta minihelix. The unstable minihelix is bound between the enzymes catalytic center, comprised of the head and neck domains, and its tail domain. The minihelix perfectly mimics full-length tRNA with its acceptor and TPsiC stems folding into a continuous A-type RNA helix. The TPsiC loop is in the same conformation as in full-length tRNA | Archaeoglobus fulgidus |

additional information | tRNA minihelices, which contain only the acceptor stem and TPsiC stem-loop, are also efficiently subjected to CCACCA addition when they have guanosines at the first and second positions as well as a destabilized acceptor stem by virtue of mismatches and G-U wobbles | Archaeoglobus fulgidus | ? | - |

physiological function | whereas CCA is added to stable tRNAs and tRNA-like transcripts, a second CCA repeat is added to certain unstable transcripts to initiate their degradation. Following the first CCA addition cycle, nucleotide binding to the active site triggers a clockwise screw motion, producing torque on the RNA. This ejects stable RNAs, whereas unstable RNAs are refolded while bound to the enzyme and subjected to a second CCA catalytic cycle. Intriguingly, with the CCA-adding enzyme acting as a molecular vise, the RNAs proofread themselves through differential responses to its interrogation between stable and unstable substrates | Archaeoglobus fulgidus |
