Dissecting Monomer-Dimer Equilibrium of an RNase P Protein Provides Insight Into the Synergistic Flexibility of 5’ Leader Pre-tRNA Recognition

Ribonuclease P (RNase P) is a universal RNA-protein endonuclease that catalyzes 5’ precursor-tRNA (ptRNA) processing. The RNase P RNA plays the catalytic role in ptRNA processing; however, the RNase P protein is required for catalysis in vivo and interacts with the 5’ leader sequence. A single P RNA...
