Function
[TUTT_DROME] Uridylyltransferase which mediates terminal uridylation of miRNAs, leading to their degradation. Has high specificity for splicing-derived miRNAs (mirtrons) and other miRNA substrates containing a 3'-G terminal nucleotide. Appears to be a major suppressor of mirtron biogenesis.[1] [2]
