| Abstract | RNase P, which catalyzes the magnesium-dependent 5'-end maturation of tRNAs in all three domains of life, is composed of one essential RNA and a varying number of protein subunits depending on the source: at least one in bacteria, four in archaea, and nine in eukarya. To address why multiple protein subunits are needed for archaeal/eukaryal RNase P catalysis, in contrast to their bacterial relative, in vitro reconstitution of these holoenzymes is a prerequisite. Using recombinant subunits, we have reconstituted in vitro the RNase P holoenzyme from the thermophilic archaeon Pyrococcus furiosus (Pfu) and furthered our understanding regarding its functional organization and assembly pathway(s). Whereas Pfu RNase P RNA (RPR) alone is capable of multiple turnover, addition of all four RNase P protein (Rpp) subunits to Pfu RPR results in a 25-fold increase in its k(cat) and a 170-fold decrease in K(m). In fact, even in the presence of only one of two specific pairs of Rpps, the RPR displays activity at lower substrate and magnesium concentrations. Moreover, a pared-down, mini-Pfu RNase P was identified with an RPR deletion mutant. Results from our kinetic and footprinting studies on Pfu RNase P, together with insights from recent structures of bacterial RPRs, provide a framework for appreciating the role of multiple Rpps in archaeal RNase P. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
