Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this project, we focus on the molecular mechanism of RNA polymerizations by CC-, A- CCA-adding enzymes and by RNA polymerase complexed with S1 protein. We clarified the mechanisms of CC-addition and A-addition by CC-adding and A-adding enzymes, respectively. We also clarify the mechanism by which CCA-adding enzyme discriminates mature tRNA from immature tRNA. We also clarified the molecular basis of replication initiation by using S1 protein in RNA polymerase complex.
