A yeast two-hybrid system was used to identify protein–protein interactions between the ribonuclease P (RNase P) protein subunits Mth11p, Mth687p, Mth688p and Mth1618p from the archaeonMethanothermobacter thermoautotrophicus. Clear interactions between Mth688p and Mth687p, and between Mth1618p and Mth11p, were confirmed byHIS3andLacZreporter expression. Weaker interactions of Mth687p and Mth688p with Mth11p, and Mth11p with itself, are also suggested. These interactions resemble, and confirm, those previously seen among the homologs of these proteins in the more complex yeast RNase P holoenzyme.

The endoribonuclease RNase P is involved in the processing of tRNA precursors to generate mature 5′ termini. The catalytic activity of RNase P is associated with an RNA, RNase P RNA. A specific interaction between the 3′ end of the substrate and RNase P RNA, to form an RNase P RNA-substrate complex, is referred to as the ‘73–294-interaction’. This interaction has an important role for efficient and correct cleavage to occur. Here our understanding of the contribution of the 73–294-interaction and metal ions, with respect to efficient and correct cleavage in RNase P RNA-mediated catalysis, will be discussed.

Rare-earth phosphates are of particular interest because of their catalytic properties associated with the hydrolysis of many aromatic chlorides in the petroleum industry. Lanthanum phosphates (LaPO4) which have been doped with small amounts of copper have shown increased catalytic activity (1). However the physical and chemical characteristics of the samples leading to good catalytic activity are not known.Many catalysts are amorphous and thus do not easily lend themselves to methods of investigation which would include electron microscopy. However, the LaPO4, crystals are quite suitable samples for high resolution techniques.The samples used were obtained from William L. Kehl of Gulf Research and Development Company. The electron microscopy was carried out on a JEOL JEM-100B which had been modified for high resolution microscopy (2). Standard high resolution techniques were employed. Three different sample types were observed: 669A-1-5-7 (poor catalyst), H-L-2 (good catalyst) and 27-011 (good catalyst).

The catalytic activity decreases as –(SiO)3Mo(OH)(O) > –(SiO)2Mo(O)2 > –(O)4–MoO.
