Short Name | RtcB_euk |
description | RctB is a tRNA-splicing ligase from bacteria []. RctB homologues in eukaryotes represent the catalytic subunit of the tRNA-splicing ligase complex that acts by directly joining spliced tRNA halves to mature-sized tRNAs by incorporating the precursor-derived splice junction phosphate into the mature tRNA as a canonical 3',5'-phosphodiester. RctB may act as a RNA ligase with broad substrate specificity, and may function toward other RNAs []. |
