Comments [?]

FUNCTIONEndonuclease that removes tRNA introns. Cleaves 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'-OH termini. Recognizes a pseudosymmetric substrate in which 2 bulged loops of 3 bases are separated by a stem of 4 bp.
CATALYTIC ACTIVITY Reaction=pretRNA = a 3'-half-tRNA molecule with a 5'-OH end + a 5'- half-tRNA molecule with a 2',3'-cyclic phosphate end + an intron with a 2',3'-cyclic phosphate and a 5'-hydroxyl terminus.; EC=4.6.1.16;
SUBUNITHomodimer.
SIMILARITYBelongs to the tRNA-intron endonuclease family. Archaeal long subfamily.

Comments In archaea, the tRNA-intron endonuclease enzyme is either composed of a homotetramer of a protein of 150-190 amino acids (MF_01833), or composed of a homodimer of a endA protein of 300-370 amino acids (this family), in which each protein of the dimer arose by tandem duplication of the endA protein of 150-190 amino acids.
