General structures of intron containing tRNAs. Earlier it was reported that only tRNAMet and tRNATyr contains introns in higher plants. However, we found that (H) tRNATyr; (G) tRNASer, (A) tRNACys, (F) tRNAThr, and (B) tRNAAla contain introns in additional to (C–E) tRNAMet. The introns in tRNA are usually found in the anti-codon loop. Adenine nucleotide is the predominant nucleotide before the start site of introns in all tRNA.
