Abstract excerpt
Structural resemblance of the human Alu family with a subset of vertebrate tRNAs was detected. Of four tRNAs, tRNA(Lys), tRNA(Ile), tRNA(Thr), and tRNA(Tyr), which comprise a structurally related family, tRNA(Lys) is the most similar to the human Alu family. Of the 76 nucleotides in lysine tRNA (including the CCA tail), 47 are similar to the human Alu family (60% identity). The secondary structure of the human...
