Recognition and cleavage mechanism of intron-containing pre-tRNA by human TSEN endonuclease complex

Abstract Removal of introns from transfer RNA precursors (pre-tRNAs) occurs in all living organisms. This is a vital phase in the maturation and functionality of tRNA. Here we present a 3.2 Å-resolution cryo-EM structure of an active human tRNA splicing endonuclease complex bound to an intron-contai...
