CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF THE TRNA SPLICING ENDONUCLEASE FROM METHANOCOCCUS JANNASCHII

Overview

The splicing of transfer RNA precursors is similar in Eucarya and Archaea., In both kingdoms an endonuclease recognizes the splice sites and releases, the intron, but the mechanism of splice site recognition is different in, each kingdom. The crystal structure of the endonuclease from the archaeon, Methanococcus jannaschii was determined to a resolution of 2.3 angstroms., The structure indicates that the cleavage reaction is similar to that of, ribonuclease A and the arrangement of the active sites is conserved, between the archaeal and eucaryal enzymes. These results suggest an, evolutionary pathway for splice site recognition.
