Transfer RNA gene organization and RNase P.
Mature tRNAs are remarkably similar in all cells. However, the primary transcripts from tRNA genes can vary considerably due to differences in gene organization. RNase P must be able to recognize the elements that are common to all tRNA precursors to accurately remove the 5'-leader sequences.
