EC 3.1.13.5 Details
EC number
3.1.13.5
Accepted name
ribonuclease D
Reaction
Exonucleolytic cleavage that removes extra residues from the 3′-terminus of tRNA to produce 5′-mononucleotides
Other name(s)
RNase D
Comment
Requires divalent cations for activity (Mg2+, Mn2+ or Co2+). Alteration of the 3′-terminal base has no effect on the rate of hydrolysis whereas modification of the 3′-terminal sugar has a major effect. tRNA terminating with a 3′-phosphate is completely inactive [3]. This enzyme can convert a tRNA precursor into a mature tRNA [2].
