RNA 3' phosphate cyclase domain (class I) This subfamily of cyclase-like proteins are encoded in eukaryotic genomes. They lack a conserved catalytic histidine residue required for cyclase activity, so probably do not function as cyclases. They are believed to play a role in ribosomal RNA processing and assembly.
Comment:These residues are observed to form a charged pocket in related proteins for which structure is known. It is believed to be the site of RNA binding.
