			| Description | S. pombe Poly(U) (Poly(A)) Polymerase uses ATP as a substrate for template-independent addition of UMP from UTP or AMP from ATP to the 3´ hydroxyl termini of RNA molecules. |  
			| Applications | 
				Labeling of RNA with UTPPoly(U) and Poly(A) tailing of RNA for cloningEnhance mRNA stability and increase translation efficiency of in vitro synthesized mRNA transferred into eukaryotic cellsPoly (A) tailing of 2' O-Me modified 3' ends |  
			| Source | A recombinant E. coli strain carrying yeast (Schizosaccharomyces pombe) Poly(A) Polymerase gene Cid1 |  
			| Unit Definition | 1 unit is defined as the amount of enzyme that will incorporate 1 nmol of UMP into into RNA in 50 µl in 10 minutes at 37°C. |  
			| Components | 
				S. pombe Poly(U) Polymerase: 20 mM Tris-HCl, 300 mM NaCl, 1 mM DTT, 1 mM EDTA, 50% Glycerol, 0.1% Triton® X-100, pH 7.5 @ 25°C10X Reaction Buffer: 100 mM Tris-HCl,500 mM NaCl, 100 mM MgCl2,10 mM DTT, pH 7.9 @ 25°C |  
			| Quality Control | The absence of endonuclease, nicking activity,  exonuclease and RNAse activity is confirmed by appropriate quality tests. |  
			| Storage Condition | -20 °C |    |
