Molecular architecture of the tRNA ligase complex
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: In human cells, a subset of tRNA-encoding genes contain introns. These are removed by a non-canonical splicing pathway in which the tRNA splicing endonuclease complex catalyzes intron excision and the resulting exons are subsequently ligated by the tRNA-ligase complex (tRNA-LC). The tRNA-LC is a hetero-pentameric protein assembly consisting of Ashwin, CGI-99, FAM98B, the DEAD-box helicase DDX1 and the catalytic subunit RTCB/HSPC117. We show that the paralogous proteins FAM98A and FAM98C underpin the assembly of compositionally distinct RTCB-containing complexes that lack Ashwin and may have distinct cellular functions.
