A general approach to high-yield biosynthesis of chimeric RNAs bearing various types of functional small RNAs for broad applications. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
RNA research and therapy relies primarily on synthetic RNAs. We employed recombinant RNA technology toward large-scale production of pre-miRNA agents in bacteria, but found the majority of target RNAs were not or negligibly expressed. We thus developed a

Chance and necessity in the evolution of RNase P

open access: yesRNA: A publication of the RNA Society, 2018
RNase P catalyzes 5′-maturation of tRNAs in all three domains of life. This primary function is accomplished by either a ribozyme-centered ribonucleoprotein (RNP) or a protein-only variant (with one to three polypeptides).

Nuclear RNase P of Trypanosoma brucei: A Single Protein in Place of the Multicomponent RNA-Protein Complex

open access: yesCell Reports, 2012
RNase P is the endonuclease that removes 5′ extensions from tRNA precursors. In its best-known form, the enzyme is composed of a catalytic RNA and a protein moiety variable in number and mass. This ribonucleoprotein enzyme is widely considered ubiquitous

Difference between Mitochondrial RNase P and Nuclear RNase P [Letters to the Editor] [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
[Discussion of: Puranam, R. S., and G. Attardi. 2001. The RNase P associated with HeLa cell mitochondria contains an essential RNA component identical in sequence to that of the nuclear RNase P. Mol. Cell. Biol. 21:548-561.

Timing molecular motion and production with a synthetic transcriptional clock [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The realization of artificial biochemical reaction networks with unique functionality is one of the main challenges for the development of synthetic biology. Due to the reduced number of components, biochemical circuits constructed in vitro promise to be

RNase P enzymes [PDF]

open access: yesRNA Biology, 2013
Ribonuclease P (RNase P) catalyzes the maturation of the 5' end of precursor-tRNAs (pre-tRNA) and is conserved in all domains of life. However, the composition of RNase P varies from bacteria to archaea and eukarya, making RNase P one of the most diverse enzymes characterized.

Both kinds of RNase P in all domains of life: surprises galore

open access: yesRNA: A publication of the RNA Society, 2018
RNase P, an essential housekeeping endonuclease needed for 5′-processing of tRNAs, exists in two distinct forms: one with an RNA- and the other with a protein-based active site.

Mapping the evolution of mitochondrial complex I through structural variation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Respiratory complex I (CI) is crucial for bioenergetic metabolism in many prokaryotes and eukaryotes. It is composed of a conserved set of core subunits and additional accessory subunits that vary depending on the organism. Here, we categorize CI subunits from available structures to map the evolution of CI across eukaryotes. Respiratory complex I (CI)

The Diversity of Ribonuclease P: Protein and RNA Catalysts with Analogous Biological Functions

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2016
Ribonuclease P (RNase P) is an essential endonuclease responsible for catalyzing 5’ end maturation in precursor transfer RNAs. Since its discovery in the 1970s, RNase P enzymes have been identified and studied throughout the three domains of life ...

Interplay between substrate recognition, 5′ end tRNA processing and methylation activity of human mitochondrial RNase P

open access: yesbioRxiv, 2018
Human mitochondrial ribonuclease P (mtRNase P) is an essential three protein complex that catalyzes the 5’ end maturation of mitochondrial precursor tRNAs (pre-tRNAs).
