cid1

Gene
cid1
Protein
Terminal uridylyltransferase cid1
Organism
Schizosaccharomyces pombe (strain 972 / ATCC 24843)
Length
405 amino acids
Function
Cytoplasmic uridylyltransferase that mediates the terminal uridylation of mRNAs with short poly(A) tails such as such as act1, hcn1 and urg1 mRNAs, hence facilitating global mRNA decay (PubMed:17353264, PubMed:17449726, PubMed:19430462, PubMed:22751018, PubMed:22885303). Uridylates the 3' ends of actin mRNAs upon S-phase arrest (PubMed:17353264). Has also a weak poly(A) polymerase (PAP) activity (PubMed:22751018, PubMed:22885303). Residue His-336 is responsible for the specificity for UTP (PubMed:22751018, PubMed:22885303). Involved in cell cycle arrest where in association with crb2/rhp9 and chk1 it inhibits unscheduled mitosis (PubMed:10757807).
Similarity
Belongs to the DNA polymerase type-B-like family.
