Structural and mechanistic basis for recognition of alternative tRNA precursor substrates by bacterial ribonuclease P

Ribonuclease P efficiently processes all tRNA precursors despite sequence variation at the site of cleavage. Here, authors use high-throughput enzymology and cryoEM to reveal conformational changes that drive recognition by bacterial RNase P.
