| Abstract | A single enzyme, ribonuclease P (RNase P), processes the 5' ends of tRNA precursors (ptRNA) in cells and organelles that carry out tRNA biosynthesis. This substrate population includes over 80 different competing ptRNAs in Escherichia coli. Although the reaction kinetics and molecular recognition of a few individual model substrates of bacterial RNase P have been well described, the competitive substrate kinetics of the enzyme are comparatively unexplored. To understand the factors that determine how different ptRNA substrates compete for processing by E. coli RNase P, we compared the steady state reaction kinetics of two ptRNAs that differ at sequences that are contacted by the enzyme. For both ptRNAs, substrate cleavage is fast relative to dissociation. As a consequence, V/K, the rate constant for the reaction at limiting substrate concentrations, reflects the substrate association step for both ptRNAs. Reactions containing two or more ptRNAs follow simple competitive alternative substrate kinetics in which the relative rates of processing are determined by ptRNA concentration and their V/K. The relative V/K values for eight different ptRNAs, which were selected to represent the range of structure variation at sites contacted by RNase P, were determined by internal competition in reactions in which all eight substrates were present simultaneously. The results reveal a relatively narrow range of V/K values, suggesting that rates of ptRNA processing by RNase P are tuned for uniform specificity and consequently optimal coupling to precursor biosynthesis. |

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.
