Rpp40 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable ribonuclease P RNA binding activity. Predicted to contribute to ribonuclease MRP activity and ribonuclease P activity. Predicted to be involved in endonucleolytic cleavage in ITS1 to separate SSU-rRNA from 5.8S rRNA and LSU-rRNA from tricistronic rRNA transcript (SSU-rRNA, 5.8S rRNA, LSU-rRNA) and tRNA 5'-leader removal. Predicted to be located in nucleolus. Predicted to be part of multimeric ribonuclease P complex and ribonuclease MRP complex. Orthologous to human RPP40 (ribonuclease P/MRP subunit p40).

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Rpp40 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
