seperation of the catalytic domain of the RNA part by cleaving it from the specificity S-domain mediates. Compared to full-length RNase P RNA, the rate constant, kobs, of cleavage of various model RNA hairpin loop substrates.for the truncated RPR is reduced 30 to 13000fold depending on the substrate. Substitution of A248, positioned near the cleavage site in the RNase P-substrate complex, with G in the truncated RNase P RNA results in 30fold improvement in reaction rate. In contrast, strengthening the interaction between the RNase P RNA and the 3'-end of the substrate only had a modest effect. Deleting the S-domain gives a reduction in the rate, but it results in a less erroneous RPR with respect to cleavage site selection
