Abstract excerpt
The endonuclease tRNase Z from A. thaliana (AthTRZ1) was originally isolated for its tRNA 3' processing activity. Here we show that AthTRZ1 also hydrolyzes the phosphodiester bond in bis(p-nitrophenyl) phosphate (bpNPP) with a kcat of 7.4 s-1 and a KM of 8.5 mM. We analyzed 22 variants of AthTRZ1...
