Protein components contribute to active site architecture for eukaryotic ribonuclease P.
In eukaryotes, ribonuclease P (RNase P) requires both RNA and protein components for catalytic activity. The eukaryotic RNase P RNA, unlike its bacterial counterparts, does not possess intrinsic catalytic activity in the absence of holoenzyme protein components. We have used a sensitive photoreactive cross-linking assay to explore the substrate-binding environment for different eukaryotic RNase...
متن کاملArchaeal Ribonuclease P Has Multiple Protein Subunits Homologous to Eukaryotic Nuclear Ribonuclease P Subunits
HALL, THOMAS A. Archaeal Ribonuclease P has Multiple Protein Subunits Homologous to Eukaryotic Nuclear Ribonuclease P Subunits (Under the direction of James W. Brown.) RNase P removes the 5 ́ leader from all transfer RNA precursors, and is thus a required factor for protein synthesis. RNase P consists of a catalytic RNA molecule and associated protein, the amount of which varies among phylogenet...
متن کاملActive Site of Ribonuclease A
Ribonuclease A (RNase A; EC 3.1.27.5) was perhaps the most studied enzyme of the 20th century and is the best characterized ribonuclease. The “A” in its name refers not to its substrate specificity, but to the predominant form of the enzyme produced by the bovine pancreas. RNase A is unmodified, whereas RNase B, RNase C, and RNase D are mixtures of glycoforms. Because of its availability in lar...
متن کاملStructure and function of eukaryotic Ribonuclease P RNA.
Ribonuclease P (RNase P) is the ribonucleoprotein endonuclease that processes the 5' ends of precursor tRNAs. Bacterial and eukaryal RNase P RNAs had the same primordial ancestor; however, they were molded differently by evolution. RNase P RNAs of eukaryotes, in contrast to bacterial RNAs, are not catalytically active in vitro without proteins. By comparing the bacterial and eukaryal RNAs, we c...
متن کاملEukaryotic ribonuclease P: a plurality of ribonucleoprotein enzymes.
Ribonuclease P (RNase P) is an essential endonuclease that acts early in the tRNA biogenesis pathway. This enzyme catalyzes cleavage of the leader sequence of precursor tRNAs (pre-tRNAs), generating the mature 5' end of tRNAs. RNase P activities have been identified in Bacteria, Archaea, and Eucarya, as well as organelles. Most forms of RNase P are ribonucleoproteins, i.e., they consist of an e...
