Terminal nucleotidyltransferase that catalyzes preferentially the transfert of ATP and GTP on RNA 3 poly(A) tail creating a heterogeneous 3 poly(A) tail leading to mRNAs stabilization by protecting mRNAs from active deadenylation. Also functions as a catalytic subunit of a TRAMP-like complex which has a poly(A) RNA polymerase activity and is involved in a post-transcriptional quality control mechanism. Polyadenylation with short oligo(A) tails is required for the degradative activity of the exosome on several of its nuclear RNA substrates. Doesnt need a cofactor for polyadenylation activity (in vitro). Required for cytoplasmic polyadenylation of mRNAs involved in carbohydrate metabolism, including the glucose transporter SLC2A1/GLUT1. Plays a role in replication-dependent histone mRNA degradation, probably through terminal uridylation of mature histone mRNAs. May play a role in sister chromatid cohesion. Mediates 3 adenylation of the microRNA MIR21 followed by its 3-to-5 trimming by the exoribonuclease PARN leading to degradation. Mediates 3 adenylation of H/ACA box snoRNAs (small nucleolar RNAs) followed by its 3-to-5 trimming by the exoribonuclease PARN which enhances snoRNA stability and maturation.
