Nuclear RNase MRP processes RNA at multiple discrete sites: interaction with an upstream G box is required for subsequent downstream cleavages
Abstract
RNase MRP is a site-specific endoribonuclease that processes primer RNA from the leading-strand origin of mammalian mitochondrial DNA replication. It is present in active form as isolated from the nucleus, suggesting a bipartite cellular location and function. The relatively high abundance of nucleus-localized RNase MRP has permitted its purification to near homogeneity and, in turn, has led to the identification of protein components of this ribonucleoprotein. Analysis of the mode of RNA cleavage by nuclear RNase MRP revealed the surprising and unprecedented ability of the endonuclease to process RNA at multiple discrete locations. Substrate cleavage is dependent on the presence of a previously described G-rich sequence element adjacent to the primary site of RNA processing. Downstream cleavage occur in a distance- and sequence-specific manner.
