Yeast Rnt1 is a member of the double-stranded RNA (dsRNA)-specific RNase III family identified by conserved dsRNA binding (dsRBD) and nuclease domains. Comparative sequence analyses have revealed an additional N-terminal domain unique to the eukaryotic homologues of RNase III. The deletion of this domain from Rnt1 slowed growth and led to mild accumulation of unprocessed 25S pre-rRNA. In vitro, deletion of the N-terminal domain reduced the rate of RNA cleavage under physiological salt concentration. Size exclusion chromatography and cross-linking assays indicated that the N-terminal domain and the dsRBD self-interact to stabilize the Rnt1 homodimer. In addition, an interaction between the N-terminal domain and the dsRBD was identified by a two-hybrid assay. The results suggest that the eukaryotic N-terminal domain of Rnt1 ensures efficient dsRNA cleavage by mediating the assembly of optimum Rnt1-RNA ribonucleoprotein complex.
