Abstract excerpt
In most bacterial type A RNase P RNAs (P RNAs), two major loop-helix tertiary contacts (L8-P4 and L18-P8) help to orient the two independently folding S- and C-domains for concerted recognition of precursor tRNA substrates. Here, we analyze the effects of mutations in these tertiary contacts in P RNAs from three different species: (i) the psychrophilic bacterium Pseudoalteromonas translucida (Ptr), (ii) the...
