An Error has occurred retrieving Wikidata item for infobox RNA 2',3'-cyclic phosphate and 5'-OH ligase is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RTCB gene.[1] It is found in the stress granule of cells.[2]

Structure

As of June 2019, no crystal structure of the human RTCB is known, but homology models built from other RtcB-family ligases are available (Swiss-model: Q9Y3I0). The structure of Pyrococcus horikoshii RtcB, which uses GTP instead of ATP, shows two manganese (Mn2+) cofactors, and a mechanism involving a covalently linked GTP-histidine-RtcB intermediate. The residue involved, H404, is conserved in human RTCB as H428.[3]

PDBsumstructure summary

RTCB belongs to the RtcB family of ATP-dependent RNA ligases, named after the eponymous protein in E. coli. The bacterial RtcB acts as a tRNA ligase, rejoining broken stem-loops in case of damage.[4] It is also able to catalyse RNA splicing.[5]

The eukaryotic homologs of RtcB, including the human RTCB protein, participates in the tRNA-splicing ligase complex.[6]
