tRNA-intron lyase (EC 4.6.1.16, tRNA intron endonuclease, transfer ribonucleate intron endoribonuclease, tRNA splicing endonuclease, splicing endonuclease, tRNATRPintron endonuclease, transfer splicing endonuclease) is an enzyme.[1][2][3][4] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

pre-tRNA a 3'-half-tRNA molecule with a 5'-OH end + a 5'-half-tRNA molecule with a 2',3'-cyclic phosphate end + an intron with a 2',3'-cyclic phosphate and a 5'-hydroxyl terminus

This enzyme catalyses the final stage in the maturation of tRNA molecules. Its systematic name is pretRNA lyase (intron-removing; cyclic-2',3'-phosphate-forming).
