| Primary Identifier | IPR024028 | Type | Family |
| Short Name | PNKP_bac |
| description | Members of this family are the bacterial polynucleotide kinase-phosphatase (Pnkp) enzymes that prepare broken RNA termini for sealing by RNA ligase []. Their genes co-occur with genes for the 3' terminal RNA ribose 2'-O-methyltransferase Hen1, and the pair are thought to form a bacterial RNA repair cassette, where a combination of Pnkp (RNA repair) and Hen1 (RNA modification) serves to first repair RNA damage from ribotoxins and then perform a modification that prevents the damage from recurring []. |
