The ribozyme from Bacillus subtilis RNase P (P RNA) recognizes an RNA structure consisting of the acceptor stem and the T stem-loop of tRNA substrates. An in vitro selection experiment was carried out to obtain potential RNA substrates that may interact with the P RNA differently from the tRNA substrate. Using a P RNA-derived ribozyme that contains most, if not all, of the structural elements thought to be involved in active site formation of P RNA, but lacks the putative binding site for the T stem-loop of tRNA, a single RNA substrate was isolated after nine rounds of selection. This RNA is a competent substrate for the ribozyme used in selection as well as for the full-length P RNA. Biochemical characterization shows that this selected substrate interacts at a different site compared with the tRNA substrate. The selection experiment also identified a self-cleaving RNA seemingly different from other known ribozymes. These results indicate that a biological ribozyme can contain different binding sites for different RNA substrates. This alternate binding site model suggests a simple mechanism for evolving existing ribozymes to recognize RNA substrates of diverse structures.
