Studies on Escherichia coli RNase P RNA with Zn(2+) as the catalytic cofactor

We demonstrate, for the first time, catalysis by Escherichia coli ribonuclease P (RNase P) RNA with Zn(2+) as the sole divalent metal ion cofactor in the presence of ammonium, but not sodium or potassium salts. Hill analysis suggests a role for two or more Zn(2+) ions in catalysis. Whereas Zn(2+) de...
