Structural implications of novel diversity in eucaryal RNase P RNA.
Previous eucaryotic RNase P RNA secondary structural models have been based on limited diversity, representing only two of the approximately 30 phylogenetic kingdoms of the domain Eucarya. To elucidate a more generally applicable structure, we used biochemical, bioinformatic, and molecular approaches to obtain RNase P RNA sequences from diverse organisms including representatives of six additio...
متن کاملSubstrate discrimination in RNase P RNA-mediated cleavage: importance of the structural environment of the RNase P cleavage site
Like the translational elongation factor EF-Tu, RNase P interacts with a large number of substrates where RNase P with its RNA subunit generates tRNAs with matured 5' termini by cleaving tRNA precursors immediately 5' of the residue at +1, i.e. at the position that corresponds to the first residue in tRNA. Most tRNAs carry a G+1C+72 base pair at the end of the aminoacyl acceptor-stem whereas in...
متن کاملRNase P RNA-mediated catalysis.
The endoribonuclease RNase P is involved in the processing of tRNA precursors to generate mature 5' termini. The catalytic activity of RNase P is associated with an RNA, RNase P RNA. A specific interaction between the 3' end of the substrate and RNase P RNA, to form an RNase P RNA-substrate complex, is referred to as the '73-294-interaction'. This interaction has an important role for efficient...
متن کاملModeling the Thermoproteaceae RNase P RNA
The RNA component of the RNase P complex is found throughout most branches of the tree of life and is principally responsible for removing the 5' leader sequence from pre-tRNA transcripts during tRNA maturation. RNase P RNA has a number of universal core features, however variations in sequence and structure found in homologs across the tree of life require multiple Rfam covariance search model...
