Abstract excerpt
tRNA 3' processing is one of the essential steps during tRNA maturation. The tRNA 3'-processing endonuclease tRNase Z was only recently isolated, and its functional domains have not been identified so far. We performed an extensive mutational study to identify amino acids and regions involved in dimerization, tRNA binding, and catalytic activity. 29 deletion and point variants of the tRNase Z enzyme were...
