Name | ribonuclease P complex |
ID | GO_0030677 |
collection_id | Cellular component |
Exact synonym | RNase P complex |
Description | A ribonucleoprotein complex that catalyzes cleavage of the leader sequence of precursor tRNAs (pre-tRNAs), generating the mature 5' end of tRNAs. |
Comment | Note that chloroplasts possess a complex that is called 'RNase P' because it catalyzes pre-tRNA cleavage, but the chloroplast complex appears not to contain RNA. |
