Ligands: ZN Gene: rnp1, PF1816 (PYRFU), rnp4, PF1613 (PYRFU) Activity: Ribonuclease P, with EC number 3.1.26.5 Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT Function [RNP1_PYRFU] Part of ribonuclease P, a protein complex that generates mature tRNA molecules by cleaving their 5'-ends. The RNA is catalytic, but its KM for pre-tRNA is 170-fold decreased in the presence of the 4 known protein subunits (Rnp1-4). The protein subunits also decrease the amount of Mg(2+) needed for activity. [RNP4_PYRFU] Part of ribonuclease P, a protein complex that generates mature tRNA molecules by cleaving their 5'-ends.

Publication Abstract from PubMed Ribonuclease P (RNase P) is a ribonucleoprotein (RNP) enzyme that catalyzes the Mg(2+)-dependent 5' maturation of precursor tRNAs. In all domains of life, it is a ribozyme: the RNase P RNA (RPR) component has been demonstrated to be responsible for catalysis. However, the number of RNase P protein subunits (RPPs) varies from 1 in bacteria to 9 or 10 in eukarya. The archaeal RPR is associated with at least 4 RPPs, which function in pairs (RPP21-RPP29 and RPP30-POP5). We used solution NMR spectroscopy to determine the three-dimensional structure of the protein-protein complex comprising Pyrococcus furiosus RPP21 and RPP29. We found that the protein-protein interaction is characterized by coupled folding of secondary structural elements that participate in interface formation. In addition to detailing the intermolecular contacts that stabilize this 30-kDa binary complex, the structure identifies surfaces rich in conserved basic residues likely vital for recognition of the RPR and/or precursor tRNA. Furthermore, enzymatic footprinting experiments allowed us to localize the RPP21-RPP29 complex to the specificity domain of the RPR. These findings provide valuable new insights into mechanisms of RNP assembly and serve as important steps towards a three-dimensional model of this ancient RNP enzyme.
