Function and subunit composition of RNase P. (A) The reaction catalyzed by RNase P. (B–E) Universally conserved nucleotides are depicted in the secondary structures of representative RPRs from the three domains of life (17). Of the various structural elements, only the P4 helix is labeled. In B and C, the pared-down catalytic domains that are active in the presence of their cognate Rpps are shown in black. In bacterial RPR, blue indicates the substrate-specificity domain, and red lines indicate experimentally validated tertiary contacts. Archaeal RPRs are classified as types A (ancestral version; C) and M (those primarily from Methanococci; D); the latter have not been proven to be active in the absence of cognate Rpps (7).
