- W1550635608 abstract "Ribonuclease P (RNase P) is a ubiquitous enzyme, which endonucleolytically cleaves the precursor tRNA transcripts to produce their mature 5΄ ends. Recently, RNase P has been found to participate in the transcription of tRNA, rRNA and other small non-coding RNA genes. RNase P occurs in representatives of all domains of life (bacteria, archaea, eukarya), as well as in mitochondria and chloroplasts, apart from the archeon Nanoarchaeum equitans. In almost every organism, RNase P is a ribonucleoprotein complex, with one essential RNA and a multiple number of protein subunits. There are only two exceptional cases, that of the human mitochondria and the plastids from A. thaliana, whose RNase P lacks an RNA subunit.The RNA subunit is responsible for the main catalytic function of the RNase P holoenzyme in bacteria, archaea and eukarya. Protein subunits are essential for catalysis in vivo and they play multiple roles in structure and function of the holoenzyme.Dictyostelium discoideum nuclear RNase P is the most proteinaceous holoenzyme among the eukaryal RNase P studied so far. It’s a ribonucleoprotein complex, which consists of one RNA and eight protein subunits (DRpp40, DRpp30, DRpp29, DRpp25, DRpp21, DRpp20, DPop1, DPop5). These proteins display similarities with its counterparts from higher eukaryotes, such as the human enzyme, but at the same time they retain distinctive characteristics. In the present study, we report the molecular cloning and interaction details of DRpp29 and RNase P RNA. Electromobility shift assays exhibited that DRpp29 binds specifically to the RNase P RNA subunit, a feature that was further confirmed by the molecular modeling of the DRpp29 structure. Moreover, deletion mutants of DRpp29 were constructed in order to investigate the domains of DRpp29 that contribute to and/or are responsible for the direct interaction with the D. discoideum RNase P RNA. A eukaryotic specific, lysine and arginine rich region was revealed, which seems to facilitate the interaction between these two subunits. We determined the D. discoideum RNase P RNA secondary structure based on footprinting analysis and bioinformatic data. Furthermore, footprinting analysis revealed that DRpp29 interact with the specificity domain (“S-domain”) of the RNA subunit, suggesting that DRpp29 influence the enzyme’s substrate binding ability. Furthermore, we tested the ability of wild type and mutant DRpp29 to form active RNase P enzymatic particles with the E. coli’s RNase P RNA. Finally, we tested the formation of a minimal catalytic core of the D. discoideum RNase P, by performing homologous reconstitution experiments with DRpp29, its protein partner DRpp21 and the RNA subunit" @default.
