- The reaction of wild-type and two mutant derivatives of RNase P have been examined with wild-type and mutant substrates. We show that a mutant derivative of tRNA(Tyr)Su3, tRNA(Tyr)Su3A15, in which the G15.C48(57) base-pair essential for folding of the tRNA moiety is altered, is a temperature-sensitive suppressor in vivo. The precursor to tRNA(Tyr)Su3A15 is cleaved in a temperature-sensitive manner in vitro by RNase P and with a higher Km compared to the precursor to tRNA(Tyr)Su3. The precursor to tRNA(Tyr)Su3A2, another temperature-sensitive suppressor in vivo in which the G2.C71(80) base-pair in the acceptor stem is changed to A2.C71(80), behaves like the precursor to tRNA(Tyr)Su3 in vitro; that is, it is not cleaved in a temperature-sensitive manner. Therefore, there are at least two ways in which a suppressor tRNA can acquire a temperature-sensitive phenotype in vivo. One of the mutant derivatives of RNase P we have tested, rnpA49, which affects the protein cofactor of the enzyme, has a decreased kcat compared to wild-type, which can explain its phenotype in vivo.
