IPR006677

Description

IPR006677 is a tRNA intron endonuclease, catalytic domain-like.

<p>This entry represents a three-layer α/β/α domain found as the catalytic domain at the C-terminal in homotetrameric tRNA-intron endonucleases [[cite:PUB00020493]], and as domains 2 and 4 (C-terminal) in the homodimeric enzymes [[cite:PUB00041082]]. tRNA-intron endonucleases ([ec:3.1.27.9]) remove tRNA introns by cleaving pre-tRNA at the 5'- and 3'-splice sites to release the intron. The products are an intron and two tRNA half-molecules bearing 2',3' cyclic phosphate and 5'-hydroxyl termini [[cite:PUB00005788]]. These enzymes recognise a pseudosymmetric substrate in which two bulged loops of three bases are separated by a stem of four bp [[cite:PUB00030470]]. Although homotetrameric enzymes contain four active sites, only two participate in the cleavage, and should therefore, be considered as a dimer of dimers.</p>

Associated GO terms

GO predictions are based solely on the InterPro-to-GO mappings published by EMBL-EBI, which are in turn based on the mapping of predicted domains to the InterPro dataset. The InterPro-to-GO mapping was last updated on , while the GO metadata was last updated on .

GO term Namespace Name Definition Relationships
Molecular function TRNA-intron endonuclease activity Catalysis of the endonucleolytic cleavage of pre-tRNA, producing 5'-hydroxyl and 2',3'-cyclic phosphate termini, and specifically removing the intron.
Biological process TRNA splicing, via endonucleolytic cleavage and ligation Splicing of tRNA substrates via recognition of the folded RNA structure that brings the 5' and 3' splice sites into proximity and cleavage of the RNA at both the 3' and 5' splice sites by an endonucleolytic mechanism, followed by ligation of the exons.
