A 100-kD complex of two RNA-binding proteins from mitochondria of Leishmania tarentolae catalyzes RNA annealing and interacts with several RNA editing components.


ABSTRACT: A stable 100-kD complex from mitochondria of Leishmania tarentolae containing two RNA-binding proteins, Ltp26 and Ltp28, was identified by cross-linking to unpaired 4-thiouridine nucleotides in a partially duplex RNA substrate. The genes were cloned and expressed and the complex was reconstituted from recombinant proteins in the absence of RNA or additional factors. The Ltp26 and Ltp28 proteins are homologs of gBP27 and gBP29 from Crithidia fasciculata and gBP25 and gBP21 from Trypanosoma brucei, respectively. The purified Ltp26/Ltp28 complex, the individual recombinant proteins, and the reconstituted complex are each capable of catalyzing the annealing of complementary RNAs, as was previously shown for gBP21 from T. brucei. A high-molecular-weight RNP complex consisting of the Ltp26/Ltp28 complex and several 55-60-kD proteins together with guide RNA could be purified from mitochondrial extract of L. tarentolae transfected with Ltp28-TAP. This complex also interacted in a less stable manner with the RNA ligase-containing L-complex and with the 3' TUTase. The Ltp26/Ltp28 RNP complex is a candidate for catalyzing the annealing of guide RNA and pre-edited mRNA in the initial step of RNA editing.
