Abstract
The partial purification and basic biochemical characterization of the RNas e P holoenzymes of two species of methanogenic Archaea, Methanothermobacter thermoautotrophicus(previously Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum strain DeltaH) and Methanococcus jannaschii, are described. The properties of the se enzymes, particularly buoyant density in Cs2SO4 and recent information a bout the subunit composition of the archaeal enzymes, suggest that RNase P enzymes in Archaea are much more alike than earlier studies in Sulfolobus a cidocaldarius and Haloferax volcanii suggested.
