Abstract excerpt
Transfer RNAs are transcribed as precursors with extensions at both the 5' and 3' ends. RNase P removes endonucleolytically the 5' end leader. tRNase Z can remove endonucleolytically the 3' end trailer as a necessary step in tRNA maturation. CCA is not transcriptionally encoded in the tRNAs of eukaryotes, archaebacteria and some bacteria and must be added by a CCA-adding enzyme after removal of the 3' end...
