All models are in PDB format.
A model of the Schizosaccharomyces pombe RNase P RNA by Steve Marquez in the Norm Pace lab (publication pending).
Model of the Bacillus stearothermphilus RNase P RNA with the Bacillus subtilus RNase P protein in complex with yeast tRNA^Phe, from Buck, et al. 2005 Nat. Struct. Mol. Biol. (advance online publication).
Type B RNA structure
The structure of the Bacillus stearothermophilus RNase P RNA, determined by X-ray crystallography to 3.3 angstroms, from Kazantsev, et al, 2005 PNAS 24:3360. Parts of the S-domain are not resolved (most of P10.1, P12, J11/12 and J12/11), but the remainder is in agreeement with the Bacillus subtilis S-domain structure.
Type A RNA structure
The structure of the Thermotoga maritima RNase P RNA, determined by X-ray crystallography, from Torres-Larios, et al, 2005 Nature 437:587. The resolution of the structure is 3.85 angstroms. Only residues in helical regions are resolved, except in the "S-domain", where the residues are placed based on the Thermus thermophilus S-domain structure. The crystals are a dimer via the formation of an intermoleular (rather than intramolecular) version of helix P6.
Type B RNA S-domain folding intermediate model
A model of the folding intermediate "Ieq" of the Bacillus subtilis RNase P RNA S-domain from Baird, et al 2005 J Mol Biol 352:712-722.
Type A RNA S-domain structure
The structure of the Thermus thermophilus RNase P RNA S-domain (P7-14), determined by X-ray crystallography, by Kraslinikov, et al, 2004 Science 306:104.
Type B RNA S-domain structure
The structure of the Bacillus subtilis RNase P RNA S-domain (P7-12), determined by X-ray crystallography, by Kraslinikov, et al, 2003 Nature 421: 760.
T. maritima protein structure
The structure of the Thermotoga maritima RNase P protein, determined by X-ray crystallography, by Kazantsev, et al, 2003 PNAS 100:7497.
The solution structure of the Staphylococcus aureus RNase P protein, determined by NMR, from Spitzfaden, et al., 2000 JMB 295:105. The PDB file contains an ensemble of 20 structures - #1 is the best representative.
P4 structure
The solution structure (determined by NMR) of P4, wild-type and the C70U mutant both alone and as hexamine complexes, from Schmitz & Tinoco, RNA 2000 6:1212.
Bacillus subtilis protein structure
The crystal structure of the B. subtilis RNase P protein subunit from: Stams T, et al., Science 1998 280:752-755

J15/16 models
MC-SYM models from Tom Easterwood & Steve Harvey, 1997 RNA 3:577.
Models of the E. coli P15/16 region based on NMR data - from Glemarec, et al, 1996, NAR., 24:2022.
