synthesis the bacterial RNase P ribozyme might be used to release RNAs of interest with homogeneous 3'-OH ends from primary transcripts via site-specific cleavage, overview. Also, T7 transcription of mature tRNAs with clustered G residues at the 5'-end may result in 5'-end heterogeneities, which can be avoided by first transcribing the 5'-precursor tRNA (ptRNA) followed by P RNA-catalyzed processing to release the mature tRNA carrying a homogeneous 5'-monophosphate end Bacillus subtilis

ribonucleoprotein in bacteria, the enzyme is a ribonucleoprotein composed of two essential subunits: a catalytic RNA subunit and a single small protein cofactor, P protein, secondary structure and tertiary interactions, overview. The RNA subunit of bacterial RNase P is an efficient catalyst in vitro in the absence of its single protein cofactor, while the protein cofactor is essential for RNase P function in vivo, affecting the structure, function, and kinetics of the holoenzyme under physiological salt conditions Aquifex aeolicus
