Domain structure of the ribozyme from eubacterial ribonuclease P.

Large RNAs can be composed of discrete domains that fold independently. One such "folding domain" has been identified previously in the ribozyme from Bacillus subtilis ribonuclease P (denoted P RNA). This domain contains roughly one-third of all residues. Folding of an RNA construct consisting of the remaining two-thirds of B. subtilis P RNA was examined by Fe(II)-EDTA hydroxyl radical protection. This molecule folds into the proper higher-order structure under identical conditions as the full-length P RNA, suggesting the presence of a second folding domain in B. subtilis P RNA. Folding analysis of the Escherichia coli P RNA by hydroxyl radical protection shows that this P RNA is completely folded at 5-6 mM Mg2+. In order to analyze the structural organization of folding domains in E. coli P RNA, constructs were designed based on the domain structure of B. subtilis P RNA. Fe(II)-EDTA protection indicates that E. coli P RNA also contains two folding domains. Despite the significant differences at the secondary structure level, both P RNAs appear to converge structurally at the folding domain level. The pre-tRNA substrate, localized in previous studies, may bind across the folding domains with the acceptor stem/3'CCA contacting the domain including the active site and the T stem-loop contacting the other. Because all eubacterial P RNAs share considerable homology in secondary structure to either B. subtilis or E. coli P RNA, these results suggest that this domain structure may be applicable for most, if not all, eubacterial P RNAs. Identification of folding domains should be valuable in dissecting structure-function relationship of large RNAs.
