Mitochondrial processing peptidase (MPP), consisting of alpha and beta subunits, recognizes a large variety of N-terminal extension peptides of mitochondrial precursor proteins, and generally cleaves a single site of the peptide including arginine at the -2 position (P(2)). We obtained evidence that Glu(191) and Asp(195) of rat beta subunit interact with P(2) arginine of precursor protein through ionic and hydrogen bonds, respectively, using recombinant MPP. Mutation to alanines at Glu(191) and Asp(195) reduced processing activity toward precursors with P(2) arginine, but resulted in no loss of activity toward P(2) alanine precursors. Charge-complementary mutation demonstrated that MPP variants with beta Arg(191) exhibited compensatory processing activity for the precursor with acidic residue at the P(2) position. Thus, Glu(191) and Asp(195) are substrate-binding sites required for cleavage of extension peptides through interaction with P(2) arginine.
