Streptomyces nucleotide 3'-pyrophosphokinase does not only transfer the 5'-beta, gamma-pyrophosphoryl group of ATP, ATP 3'-pyrophosphate or dATP to a variety of nucleotides at the 3'-OH site, but also adds 2',3'-cyclic terminal monophosphate to some suitable nucleotides with the use of diadenosine 5',5'-polyphosphates (n = 3-5). Examples are pA greater than p, ppA greater than p, pG greater than p, CpG greater than p, etc.
