physiological function | recombinant mRPN1 is a dimeric dsRNA-dependent endonuclease that requires Mg2+, a critical catalytic carboxylate, and generates 2-nucleotide 3' overhangs. Minicircles in the mitochondrial genome encode hundreds of small guide RNAs, gRNAs, that partially anneal with unedited mRNAs and direct the extensive editing. Trypanosoma brucei gRNAs and mRNAs are transcribed as polycistronic precursors, which undergo processing preceding editing. The mitochondrial RNA precursor-processing endonuclease 1, mRPN1, is involved in gRNA biogenesis, overview | Trypanosoma brucei |
