However, the structural basis for the ancient RNase P RNA component acting alone as a ribozyme and catalytic metal-ion chemistry remains unknown. We report a series of cryo-EM structures, at resolutions of 2.8-3.5 Å, of the Geobacillus stearothermophilus RNase P aporibozyme (apoE) in various states of the catalytic cycle. The formation of both the tetraloop/tetraloop-receptor interaction and the interdigitated double T-loop motif in the substrate-specificity domain facilitates substrate binding. The apoE uses two metal ions for catalysis, suggesting a catalytic mechanism and evolutionary importance of the RNase P ribozyme to function without its protein component. Together, our data portray the regulatory RNA-RNA interfaces, dynamic structures, and cation traffic that confer function to a trans-acting ribozyme. |
