PlantRNAInstitut de biologie moléculaire des plantes

A database for tRNAs of photosynthetic eukaryotes

The PlantRNA 2.0 database compiles tRNA gene sequences retrieved from fully annotated nuclear, plastidial and mitochondrial genomes of photosynthetic organisms. After a first version released in 2012, version 2.0 was implemented end of 2021.

This database is hosted and maintained by the IBMP (Institut de biologie moléculaire des plantes) from Strasbourg, France (http://www.ibmp.cnrs.fr/).

The PlantRNA database provides, in addition to tRNA gene sequences with their (linear) secondary structure, other important biological information on:

5'- and 3'- flanking sequences
tRNA intron sequences
tRNA isoacceptors
sites of transcription initiation and poly(T) stretches thought to act as transcription terminators
sequences of A and B boxes involved in TFIIIC (Transcription factor for Polymerase III) binding
aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases and enzymes responsible for tRNA maturation (RNase P, RNase Z, tRNA-nucleotidyl transferase
and other tRNA modification enzymes)
tRNA import into mitochondria
