Abstract excerpt
Functional transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules are a prerequisite for protein biosynthesis. Several processing steps are required to generate the mature functional tRNA from precursor molecules. Two of the early processing steps involve cleavage at the tRNA 5' end and the tRNA 3' end. While processing at the tRNA 5' end is performed by RNase P, cleavage at the 3' end is catalyzed by the endonuclease tRNase Z. In...
