General description
Polynuclotide phosphorlyase in spinach chloroplasts acts as a exonuclease and a poly(A) polymerase.
Application
Polynucleotide phosphorylase has been used in a study to discover that a major function of PNPase is the synthesis of CDP. It has also been used in a study to investigate the enzyme responsible for RNA 3′-tail synthesis in S. coelicolor.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Polynucleotide phosphorylase (PNPase) is a bifunctional enzyme with a phosphorolytic 3′ to 5′ exoribonuclease activity and a 3′-terminal oligonucleotide polymerase activity.
Polynucleotide phosphorylase localizes to the intermembrane space of mitochondria and has a critical function in regulating mitochondrial homeostasis in human cells.
Unit Definition
One unit will polymerize 1.0 μmole of ADP, releasing 1.0 μmole of inorganic phosphate in 15 minutes, at pH 9.1 at 37 °C.
Supplied as a solution in 20 mM Hepes buffer pH 7.9, 0.1 mM EDTA, 2 mM DTT, 12.5 mM MgCl2, 60 mM KCl, 20% (w/v) Glycerol

The mechanism of RNA degradation in Escherichia coli involves endonucleolytic cleavage, polyadenylation of the cleavage product by poly(A) polymerase, and exonucleolytic degradation by the exoribonucleases, polynucleotide phosphorylase (PNPase) and RNase II.

Polynucleotide phosphorylase (PNPase) is an exoribonuclease that cleaves single-stranded RNA substrates with 3'-5' directionality and processive behaviour. Its ring-like, trimeric architecture creates a central channel where phosphorolytic active sites reside. One face of the ring is decorated with RNA-binding K-homology
