Comments [?]

FUNCTIONTrims short 3' overhangs of a variety of RNA species, leaving a one or two nucleotide 3' overhang. Responsible for the end-turnover of tRNA: specifically removes the terminal AMP residue from uncharged tRNA (tRNA-C-C-A). Also appears to be involved in tRNA biosynthesis.
case <FTGroup:1>
COFACTOR Name=Mg(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:18420; Note=Binds two Mg(2+) per subunit. The active form of the enzyme binds two Mg(2+) ions in its active site. The first Mg(2+) forms only one salt bridge with the protein.;
end case
SUBUNITHomodimer.
SIMILARITYBelongs to the RNase T family.
