The last step of tRNA splicing in the yeast
Saccharomyces cerevisiae is catalyzed by an
NAD-dependent 2 -phosphotransferase, which transfers the
splice junction 2 -phosphate from ligated tRNA to NAD to produce
ADP-ribose 1"-2" cyclic phosphate. We have purified the
phosphotransferase about 28,000-fold from yeast extracts and cloned its
structural gene by reverse genetics. Expression of this gene
(TPT1) in yeast or in Escherichia coli results
in overproduction of 2 -phosphotransferase activity in extracts. Tpt1
protein is essential for vegetative growth in yeast, as demonstrated by
gene disruption experiments. No obvious binding motifs are found within
the protein. Several candidate homologs in other organisms are
identified by searches of the data base, the strongest of which is in
Schizosaccharomyces pombe.
