Function[RNZ_BACSU] Zinc phosphodiesterase, which displays some tRNA 3'-processing endonuclease activity. Probably involved in tRNA maturation, by removing a 3'-trailer from precursor tRNA.[1] Publication Abstract from PubMedRibonuclease (RNase) Z is involved in the maturation of the 3' ends of transfer RNAs (tRNAs) in all three kingdoms of life. To prevent futile cycles of CCA addition and removal, eukaryotic RNase Z discriminates against mature tRNAs bearing a CCA motif, with the first cytosine residue (C74) being the key antideterminant. Here, we show that, remarkably, the B. subtilis enzyme does not discriminate against cytosine in position 74, but rather is highly stimulated by uracil in this location. Consistent with this observation, the vast majority of B. subtilis tRNA precursor substrates of RNase Z naturally contain U74. Those tRNA precursors with a uracil further downstream are also substrates for RNase Z, but are matured in a two-step endo/exonuclease reaction. We solved the first crystal structure of B. subtilis RNase Z bound to a tRNA(Thr) precursor with U74 and show that the enzyme has a specific binding pocket for this nucleotide.
