Ornate, large, extremophilic (OLE) RNAs are large, non-coding transcripts characterized by their ornate secondary structure and presence predominantly in Gram-positive, extremophilic bacteria. A gene for an OLE-associated protein (OAP) is almost always located immediately downstream of the OLE gene. OAP has no extensive homology to other proteins and is predicted to form multiple transmembrane domains. We show that this protein forms a ribonucleoprotein complex with OLE RNA using at least 2:1 pr ...[more]
