A novel double kink-turn module in euryarchaeal RNase P RNAs
RNase P is primarily responsible for the 5΄ maturation of transfer RNAs (tRNAs) in all domains of life. Archaeal RNase P is a ribonucleoprotein made up of one catalytic RNA and five protein cofactors including L7Ae, which is known to bind the kink-turn (K-turn), an RNA structural element that causes axial bending. However, the number and location of K-turns in archaeal RNase P RNAs (RPRs) are u...
متن کاملEvolutionary variation in bacterial RNase P RNAs.
Sequences encoding RNase P RNAs from representatives of the last remaining classical phyla of Bacteria have been determined, completing a general phylogenetic survey of RNase P RNA sequence and structure. This broad sampling of RNase P RNAs allows some refinement of the secondary structure, and reveals patterns in the evolutionary variation of sequences and secondary structures. Although the se...
متن کاملThermostable RNase P RNAs lacking P18 identified in the Aquificales.
The RNase P RNA (rnpB) and protein (rnpA) genes were identified in the two Aquificales Sulfurihydrogenibium azorense and Persephonella marina. In contrast, neither of the two genes has been found in the sequenced genome of their close relative, Aquifex aeolicus. As in most bacteria, the rnpA genes of S. azorense and P. marina are preceded by the rpmH gene coding for ribosomal protein L34. This ...
متن کاملAutomated RNA structure prediction uncovers a kink-turn linker in double glycine riboswitches.
The tertiary structures of functional RNA molecules remain difficult to decipher. A new generation of automated RNA structure prediction methods may help address these challenges but have not yet been experimentally validated. Here we apply four prediction tools to a class of double glycine riboswitches that can bind two ligands cooperatively. A novel method (BPPalign), RMdetect, JAR3D, and Ros...
متن کاملRNase P RNAs from some Archaea are catalytically active.
The RNA subunits of RNase Ps of Archaea and eukaryotes have been thought to depend fundamentally on protein for activity, unlike those of Bacteria that are capable of efficient catalysis in the absence of protein. Although the eukaryotic RNase P RNAs are quite different than those of Bacteria in both sequence and structure, the archaeal RNAs generally contain the sequences and structures of the...
