Function and assembly of a chromatin-associated RNase P that is required for efficient transcription by RNA polymerase I. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 Human RNase P has been initially described as a tRNA processing enzyme, consisting of H1 RNA and at least ten distinct protein subunits. Recent findings, however, indicate that this catalytic ribonucleoprotein is also required for transcription of small ...

A novel mechanism of RNase L inhibition: Theiler\u27s virus L* protein prevents 2-5A from binding to RNase L [PDF]
, 2018 The OAS/RNase L pathway is one of the best-characterized effector pathways of the IFN antiviral response. It inhibits the replication of many viruses and ultimately promotes apoptosis of infected cells, contributing to the control of virus spread ...

A functional RNase P protein subunit of bacterial origin in some eukaryotes [PDF]
, 2011 RNase P catalyzes 5′-maturation of tRNAs. While bacterial RNase P comprises an RNA catalyst and a protein cofactor, the eukaryotic (nuclear) variant contains an RNA and up to ten proteins, all unrelated to the bacterial protein.

Inhibition of Murine Cytomegalovirus Infection in Animals by RNase P-Associated External Guide Sequences. [PDF]
, 2017 External guide sequence (EGS) RNAs are associated with ribonuclease P (RNase P), a tRNA processing enzyme, and represent promising agents for gene-targeting applications as they can direct RNase-P-mediated cleavage of a target mRNA.

Zebrafish RNase T2 genes and the evolution of secretory ribonucleases in animals
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2009 Background Members of the Ribonuclease (RNase) T2 family are common models for enzymological studies, and their evolution has been well characterized in plants.

RNase P Branches Out from RNP to Protein: Organelle-Triggered Diversification? [PDF]
, 2012 RNase P is the enzyme that removes 5′ leader sequences from precursor tRNAs. Remarkably, in most organisms, RNase P is a ribonucleoprotein particle where the RNA component is responsible for catalysis. In this issue of Genes \u26 Development, Gutmann and

Genetic diversity of human RNase 8
BMC Genomics, 2012 Background Ribonuclease 8 is a member of the RNase A family of secretory ribonucleases; orthologs of this gene have been found only in primate genomes. RNase 8 is a divergent paralog of RNase 7, which is lysine-enriched, highly conserved, has prominent ...

P finder: genomic and metagenomic annotation of RNase P RNA gene (rnpB)
BMC Genomics, 2020 Background The rnpB gene encodes for an essential catalytic RNA (RNase P). Like other essential RNAs, RNase P’s sequence is highly variable. However, unlike other essential RNAs (i.e.

Insights into the structure and activity of prototype foamy virus RNase H
Retrovirology, 2012 Background RNase H is an endonuclease that hydrolyzes the RNA strand in RNA/DNA hybrids. Retroviral reverse transcriptases harbor a C-terminal RNase H domain whose activity is essential for viral replication.
