Ribonucleotidyl transferases (rNTases) add untemplated ribonucleotides to diverse RNAs. We have developed TRAID-seq, a screening strategy in Saccharomyces cerevisiae to identify sequences added to a reporter RNA at single-nucleotide resolution by overexpressed candidate enzymes from different organisms. The rNTase activities of 22 previously unexplored enzymes were determined. In addition to poly(A)- and poly(U)-adding enzymes, we identified a cytidine-adding enzyme that is likely to be part of ...[more]
