description | Peptidyl-tRNA hydrolase () (PTH) is a bacterial enzyme that cleaves peptidyl-tRNA or N-acyl-aminoacyl-tRNA to yield free peptides or N-acyl-amino acids and tRNA. The natural substrate for this enzyme may be peptidyl-tRNA which drop off the ribosome during protein synthesis [, ]. Bacterial PTH has been found to be evolutionary related to a yeast protein [].This group also contains chloroplast RNA splicing 2 (CRS2), which is closely related nuclear-encoded protein required for the splicing of nine group II introns in chloroplasts [, , ]. |
