Towards plant resistance to viruses using protein-only RNase P [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2021 New approaches to plant disease control are important for pathogens that are difficult to control by existing methods. Here, the authors report a potential strategy to combat plant viruses by cytosolic expressed protein-only RNase P and show its ability ...

An RNA ligase partner for the prokaryotic protein-only RNase P: insights into the functional diversity of RNase P from genome mining [PDF]
mBioRNase P can use either an RNA- or a protein-based active site to catalyze 5′-maturation of transfer RNAs (tRNAs). This distinctive attribute in the biocatalytic repertoire raises questions about the underlying evolutionary driving forces, especially if ...

The DnaJK chaperone of Bacillus subtilis post-transcriptionally regulates gene expression through the YlxR(RnpM)/RNase P complex [PDF]
mBioTo survive in harsh natural environments, translation and mRNA metabolism must be tightly and coordinately controlled, as saving biological costs increases fitness. However, the roles of protein chaperones in this control system are unclear.

A novel experimental approach for the selective isolation and characterization of human RNase MRP
RNA Biology, 2022 RNase MRP is a ribonucleoprotein complex involved in the endoribonucleolytic cleavage of different RNAs. Mutations in the RNA component of the RNP are the cause of cartilage hair hypoplasia.

A new role for proteins subunits of RNase P: stabilization of the telomerase holoenzyme
Microbial Cell, 2020 RNase P, an RNA-protein complex, is essential for processing tRNAs. Three of the ten protein subunits of Saccharomyces cerevisiae RNase P (and a related complex, RNase MRP) co-purify with yeast telomerase, another RNA-protein complex.
