Abstract excerpt
The Saccharomyces cerevisiae TPT1 gene plays a role in removing the 2'-phosphate from ligated tRNA during the maturation of pre-tRNA. Here we reported the cloning and characterization of the human TRPT1 gene as a homolog of yeast TPT1. The TRPT1 gene is located at human chromosome 11q13 and encodes a polypeptide of 253 amino acids. BLAST searches with its amino acid sequence revealed the ubiquitous occurrence of...
