Aeropyrum pernix expresses precursor-tRNAs with canonical or non-canonical introns at various positions. APE splicing endonuclease removes both types of introns, including the non-canonical introns, without any nucleotide modification. E.g. three tRNAThr species are transcribed and subsequently matured to functional tRNAs. During maturation, introns in two of them are cleaved from standard and non-standard positions, APE-EndA has broad substrate specificity, overview

the crenarchaeal heterotetrameric EndAs can be further classified into two subfamilies based on the size of the structural subunit. Subfamily A possesses a structural subunit similar in size to the catalytic subunit, whereas subfamily B possesses a structural subunit significantly smaller than the catalytic subunit
EndA from Aeropyrum pernix also possesses an extra loop region that is characteristic of crenarchaeal EndAs, the conserved lysine residue Lys44 in the loop is important for endonuclease activity, substrate docking modeling, overview
