RNASE P PROTEIN FROM STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUSRNASE P PROTEIN FROM STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS
Structural highlights
1d6t is a 1 chain structure with sequence from Staphylococcus aureus. Full experimental information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
RNPA_STAAU RNaseP catalyzes the removal of the 5'-leader sequence from pre-tRNA to produce the mature 5'-terminus. It can also cleave other RNA substrates such as 4.5S RNA. The protein component plays an auxiliary but essential role in vivo by binding to the 5'-leader sequence and broadening the substrate specificity of the ribozyme.
