RESUMO
Eukaryotic tRNAs are transcribed as precursors. A 5′-end leader and 3′-end trailer are endonucleolytically removed by RNase P and 3′-tRNase before 3′-end CCA addition, aminoacylation, nuclear export and translation. 3′-End -CC can be a 3′-tRNase anti-determinant with the ability to prevent mature tRNA from recycling through 3′-tRNase. Twenty-two tRNAs punctuate the two rRNAs and 13 mRNAs in long, bidirectional mitochondrial transcripts. Accurate mitochondrial gene expression thus depends on endonucleolytic excision of tRNAs. Various mitochondrial diseases and syndromes could arise from defective tRNA end processing. The U7445C substitution in the human mitochondrial L-strand transcript (U74C directly following the discriminator base of tRNASer(UCN)) causes non-syndromic deafness. The sequence of the precursor (G↓UCU) becomes G↓CCU, resembling a 3′-tRNase anti-determinant. We demonstrate that a tRNASer(UCN) precursor with the U7445C substitution cannot be processed in vitro by 3′-tRNase from human mitochondria. A 3′-end processing defect in this tRNA precursor could thus be responsible for mitochondrial disease.
