CommentThis protein family consists of bacterial and archaeal proteins with two tandem copies of Pfam domain PF02834. Members for which activity has been measured perform a reversible, ATP-independent 2'-5'-ligation of what is presumably a non-phyiological substrate: half-tRNA splice intermediates from an intron-containing yeast tRNA. The physiological substrate(s) in prokaryotes may include small 2'-5'-link-containing oligonucleotides, perhaps with regulatory or biosynthetic roles.
