Comments [?]

Function Endonuclease 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;
Subunit Homotetramer; although the tetramer contains four active sites, only two participate in the cleavage. Therefore, it should be considered as a dimer of dimers.
Similarity Belongs to the tRNA-intron endonuclease family. Archaeal short subfamily.

Comments In archaea, the tRNA-intron endonuclease enzyme is either composed of a homotetramer of a protein of 150-190 amino acids (this family), or composed of a homodimer of a endA protein of 300-370 amino acids (MF_01834), in which each protein of the dimer arose by tandem duplication of the endA protein of 150-190 amino acids.
