Also acts slowly with CTP. Catalyses template-independent extension of the 3'- end of a DNA strand by one nucleotide at a time. Cannot initiate a chain de novo. The primer, depending on the source of the enzyme, may be an RNA or DNA fragment, or oligo(A) bearing a 3'-OH terminal group. See also EC 2.7.7.6 DNA-directed RNA polymerase.

rRNA fragments and tRNA precursors originating from the internal spacer regions of the rrn operons, in particular, rrnB are abundant poly(A) polymerase targets. Glu tRNA precursors originating from the rrnB and rrnG transcripts exhibit long 3' trailers that are primarily removed by polyribonucleotide nucleotidyltransferase and to a lesser extent by RNase II and poly(A) polymerase. Glu tRNA precursors still harbouring the 5' leader can be degraded by a 3' to 5' quality control pathway involving poly(A) polymerase

overview: ion requirements, poly(A) polymerases purified from different sources, and in some cases even from the same source, respond differently to the presence of Mg2+ and Mn2+
mature tRNAs, which are normally not substrates for PAP I in wild-type cells, are rapidly polyadenylated as PAP I levels increase upon overexpression, leading to dramatic reductions in the fraction of aminoacylated tRNAs, cessation of protein synthesis and cell death. The toxicity associated with PAP I is exacerbated by the absence of either RNase T and/or RNase PH. Regulation of PAP I is critical not for preventing the decay of mRNAs, but rather for maintaining normal levels of functional tRNAs and protein synthesis
enzyme PAP I variant with C-terminal His-tag can be phosphorylated both in vivo and in vitro. In vivo phosphorylation impairs activity of the enzyme and may be a regulatory process
enzyme knockout mutant, the mRNA levels of bolA, which is induced in response to many forms of stress, are reduced 2.5fold in stationary phase. Absence of enzyme enhances the RssB-mediated deltaS proteolysis specifically in starved cells
reengineering of enzyme in order to function as (UG) adding enzyme. Double- and triple-mutants in residues 211, 212, 215 add 570 G residues to oligoA15 substrate
The wild-type poly(A) polymerase, as well as deletion variants are expressed in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) (Novagen). Freshly transformed cells are grown at 28-37°C in 700 ml LB medium containing 0.030 mg/ml kanamycin and 0.033 mg/ml chloramphenicol. At mid-log phase (A600 = 0.6), expression is induced by the addition of IPTG to a final concentration of 0.200 mM. After 3-5 hr of incubation at 28-37°C, cells are harvested by centrifugation and lysed by lysozyme treatment and sonication in ice-cold buffer I (20 mM Tris/HCl pH 7.6, 0.5 M NaCl, 5 mM imidazole and 0.75 mg/ml lysozyme). After centrifugation for 30 min at 25000 xg and 4°C, the proteins in the supernatant are purified by FPLC on a 5 ml HiTrap Chelating Sepharose column (Amersham Biosciences) and eluted with 500 mM imidazole. Fractions containing the enzymes as determined by SDS-PAGE are pooled, dialyzed against buffer II (20 mM Tris/HCl pH 7.6, 0.5 M NaCl, 5 mM MgCl2 and 10% glycerol). All proteins are stored in the presence of 40% (v/v) glycerol at -20°C.
