80 Very soon after the initial characterization, it was evident that RNase P was an enzyme with peculiar properties due to the presence of an RNA molecule that was essential for activity.

These RNAs are difficult to identify due to significant reductions in their secondary structure in mitochondria, in comparison to those of eubacteria.

Its best characterised activity is the generation of mature 5'-ends of tRNAs by cleaving the 5'-leader elements of precursor-tRNAs.

RNase P is one of two known multiple turnover ribozymes in nature (the other being the ribosome).

(Around the same time, another group showed successful use of IGS for blocking viral replication. However, RNase P is unique from its family members; it is a ribozyme made of one (Bacteria) or more (Archaea, Eukarya ) protein moieties and a catalytic RNA moiety whose enzymatic activity is thought to be inversely proportional to the number of protein subunits (5, 16). The enzyme is resistant to micrococcal nuclease and no RNA subunit has yet been detected in highly purified preparations of the enzyme.A second class of chloroplast RNase P is present in the green algae Ribonuclease P is an endoribonuclease responsible for the maturation of the 5′ termini of the majority of all known tRNAs in allcell types studied to date.

Human RNase P gene is a single-copy gene encoding the RNA moiety for the RNase P … In Bacteria, the catalytic activity of RNase P is associated with its RNA subunit, RNase P RNA (4). and Hartmann, R.K. (1995) Kinetics and thermodynamics of the RNase P RNA cleavage reaction: Analysis of tRNA 3’-end variants, Oh, B-K., Frank, D.N. The bacterial RNase P RNA has two classes based on secondary structure including A- type (ancestral-type) and B-type (Bacillus-type). In vivo, both components are necessary for the ribozyme to function properly, but in vitro, the M1 RNA can act alone as a catalyst. However, in recent years, the use of , Zhang et al. RefWorks There are, however, examples of tRNA genes among the Archaea and the Eukarya where the first nucleotide in the coding region coincides with the start of transcription (2, 3). Members of the RNase H family can be found in nearly all organisms, from bacteria to archaea to eukaryotes.
