evolution | in the evolved, modern RNase P enzymes, the RNA depends on protein to fulfill its cellular function. This RNA-based form of RNase P is found in all domains of life, but there is an apparent trend from RNA to protein predominance in the overall composition and functioning of these ribonucleoproteins from bacteria to eukarya. RNase P of the former is built from a catalytically proficient RNA and a single small protein only. RNase P RNA of Archaea is a less-efficient catalyst in vitro and associates with five proteins, none of which is related to the bacterial protein. Another entirely different form of RNase P, i.e. proteinaceous RNase P, apparently not containing RNA, is initially observed in the organelles of different eukarya, e.g. humans, and also in Trypanosoma brucei. The genomes of trypanosomatids lack evidence for genes related to RNA-based RNase P, but they encode two homologues of human and plant PRORP genes. Also in plants, all cellular tRNA 5' end maturation appears to be exclusively protein dependent | Trypanosoma brucei |
additional information | the enzyme is composed of two proteins, which localize to the nucleus and the mitochondrion, respectively, and have RNase P activity each on their own. The proteins PRORP1 and PRORP2 are the sole forms of RNase P in trypanosomatids | Trypanosoma brucei |
physiological function | RNase P is the endonuclease that removes 5' extensions from tRNA precursors, an early and essential step in tRNA biogenesis. PRORP1 Is able to substitute for Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain BY4743 nuclear RNase P in vivo, the inherently different physical qualities of the two enzyme forms are not reflected in a basically different functionality | Trypanosoma brucei |
