General Information

General Information Comment Organism
physiological function RNase P is an essential endoribonuclease that catalyzes the cleavage of the 59 leader of pre-tRNAs. In addition, a growing number of non-tRNA substrates are identified in various organisms. RNase P varies in composition, as bacterial RNase P contains a catalytic RNA core and one protein subunit, while eukaryotic nuclear RNase P retains the catalytic RNA but has at least nine protein subunits. The additional eukaryotic protein subunits most likely provide additional functionality to RNase P, with one possibility being additional RNA recognition capabilities Saccharomyces cerevisiae
