    motifs/domains
  • ATP/GTP binding site motif A

    basic FUNCTION
  • endonucleolytic cleavage of RNA, removing extra 3' nucleotides from tRNA precursor, generating 3'
  • termini of tRNAs
  • RNase Z(L) that is the enzyme involved in both, nuclear and mitochondrial tRNA 3 prime end maturation
  • functions as a tRNase Z in human mitochondria, suggesting that mt-tRNase Z preferentially cleaves molecules already processed by the proteinaceous mtRNase P
  • having an important transcriptional scaffold function in TGF-beta/Smad signaling mediated growth arrest
  • encodes a long form of RNase Z
  • role of ELAC2 in mt-tRNA processing
