RNase MRP is a site-specific ribonucleoprotein endo ribonuclease that processes RNA from the mammalian mitochondrial displacement ioop containing region. RNase P is a site-specific ribonucleoprotein endoribo nuclease that processes pre-tRNAs to generate their mature 5'-ends. A similar structure for the RNase P and RNase MRP RNA5 and a common cleavage mechanism for RNase MRP and RNase P enzymes have been proposed. Experiments with protein synthesis anti biotics have shown that both RNase MAP and RNase P are inhibited by puromycin. We also show that E.coll RNase P cleaves the RNase MAP substrate, mouse mitochondrial primer RNA, exactiy at a site that is cleaved by RNase MRP.
