The gene for an essential protein subunit of nuclear RNase P from
Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been cloned. The gene for this protein, RPP1, was identified by virtue of its homology with a human scleroderma autoimmune antigen, Rpp30, which copurifies with
human RNase P. Epitope-tagged Rpp1 can be found in association with
both RNase P RNA and a related endoribonuclease, RNase MRP RNA, in
immunoprecipitates from crude extracts of cells. Depletion of Rpp1 in
vivo leads to the accumulation of precursor tRNAs with unprocessed
5
and 3
termini and reveals rRNA processing defects that have
not been described previously for proteins associated with RNase P or
RNase MRP. Immunoprecipitated complexes cleave both yeast precursor
tRNAs and precursor rRNAs.
