Enzyme Information

3.1.26.11
Ribonuclease Z.
based on mapping to UniProt P54548
Endonucleolytic cleavage of RNA, removing extra 3' nucleotides from tRNA precursor, generating 3' termini of tRNAs. A 3'-hydroxy group is left at the tRNA terminus and a 5'-phosphoryl group is left at the trailer molecule.
-!- No cofactor requirements.
