A new role for proteins subunits of RNase P: stabilization of the telomerase holoenzyme
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.

The Bacillus subtilis RNase P holoenzyme contains two RNase P RNA and two RNase P protein subunits [PDF]
Ribonuclease P (RNase P) catalyzes the 5' maturation of precursor tRNA transcripts and, in bacteria, is composed of a catalytic RNA and a protein. We investigated the oligomerization state and the shape of the RNA alone and the holoenzyme of Bacillus subtilis RNase P in the absence of substrate by synchrotron small-angle X-ray scattering and affinity ...

Function and assembly of a chromatin-associated RNase P that is required for efficient transcription by RNA polymerase I. [PDF]
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 ...

Crystallization and crystallographic analysis of an Arabidopsis nuclear proteinaceous RNase P [PDF]
RNase P activity is ubiquitous and involves the 5' maturation of precursor tRNAs. For a long time, it was thought that all RNases P were ribonucleoproteic enzymes.

Is alba an RNase P subunit? [PDF]
It has been suggested that Alba, a well-established chromatin protein in Archaea, is also a subunit of the archaeal RNase P holoenzyme, based on the observation that the homolog of this protein in humans has been shown to be associated with RNase P activity.

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

The catalytic core of RNase P [PDF]
A deletion mutant of the catalytic RNA component of Escherichia coli RNase P missing residues 87-241 retains the ability to interact with the protein component to form a functional catalyst. The deletion of this phylogenetically conserved region significantly increases the Km, indicating that the deleted structures may be important for binding to the ...

Membrane recognition and dynamics of the RNA Degradosome [PDF]
RNase E, which is the central component of the multienzyme RNA degradosome, serves as a scaffold for interaction with other enzymes involved in mRNA degradation including the DEAD-box RNA helicase RhlB.

Evolution of ribonuclease H genes in prokaryotes to avoid inheritance of redundant genes
Background A theoretical model of genetic redundancy has proposed that the fates of redundant genes depend on the degree of functional redundancy, and that functionally redundant genes will not be inherited together.

Genetic diversity of human RNase 8
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 ...
