“…Extensive biochemical purification analyses of nuclear RNase P from HeLa cells demonstrate that it consists of H1 RNA and many protein subunits, designated Rpp14, Rpp20, Rpp21, Rpp25, Rpp29, Rpp30, Rpp38, Rpp40, Pop1, and Pop5 (Table 1) [5,27,77,78,79]. Except for Rpp21, the remaining protein subunits are shared by RNase MRP, an evolutionary related nucleolar and mitochondrial ribonucleoprotein [28,31,78,79,80,81,82,83,84,85,86,87]. Elucidation of the tertiary structure of a highly purified HeLa RNase P by cryo-EM unveils that the catalytic H1 RNA is covered by its protein subunits arranged in three subcomplexes, Rpp20-Rpp25, Pop5-Rpp14-(Rpp30) 2 -Rpp40, and Rpp21-Rpp29-Rpp38, and a single polypeptide of Pop1 [29].…”
