2.7.7.56Gene ontology ID
GO:0009022
Definition
Catalysis of the reaction: tRNA(n+1) + phosphate = tRNA(n) + a nucleoside diphosphate
Comment
Note that, although the enzyme to which this term refers is also known as 'ribonuclease PH', and degrades tRNA in the 3'-5' direction in vivo, the term does not have parentage in the 'nuclease activity' branch of the ontology because both GO and the Enzyme Commission define nuclease activity as a type of hydrolysis.
Synonyms
1. phosphate-dependent exonuclease activity
2. ribonuclease PH activity
3. RNase PH activity
4. tRNA:phosphate nucleotidyltransferase activity
