Structure-function relationships of eukaryotic RNase P RNPs

Di Li

This project spent time on solving the structure of proteins around the RNA of yeast RNase P, which regulates the maturation of tRNA. 7 out of 9 proteins were solved by using Cryo-EM, and researchers are working on the last two proteins. After all nine protein structure is solved, they will work on reassembling the protein by adding each protein to the RNA backbone and visualize the structural and functional changes by Cryo-EM.
