RNASE P PROTEIN FROM BACILLUS SUBTILIS

Overview

The crystal structure of Bacillus subtilis ribonuclease P protein is, reported at 2.6 angstroms resolution. This protein binds to ribonuclease P, RNA to form a ribonucleoprotein holoenzyme with optimal catalytic, activity. Mutagenesis and biochemical data indicate that an unusual, left-handed betaalphabeta crossover connection and a large central cleft, in the protein form conserved RNA binding sites; a metal binding loop may, comprise a third RNA binding site. The unusual topology is partly shared, with ribosomal protein S5 and the ribosomal translocase elongation factor, G, which suggests evolution from a common RNA binding ancestor in the, primordial translational apparatus.
