Variation of nucleotides in the 5′ leader of pre-tRNA contacting the P RNA subunit of RNase P alters the energetic contribution of nucleotides contacting the C5 protein. (A) The 16 data subsets of HTS-Kin separated by the identity of nucleotides at N(−2) and N(−1) in the RNA binding site. (B) Each subset is compared to the genomically encoded A(−2)U(−1). Each row symbolizes a change in nucleotide identity at the N(−1) position while each column follows a change at N(−2). Each of the 16 boxes represents a scatter plot of the krel for a substrate with a given sequence at N(−6) to N(−3) in the background of the mutant or wild-type nucleotides at N(−2) and N(−1). (C) Each scatter plot was fit to a line with the slope indicated in the graph. Any arrangement of points other than a line with positive slope indicates different C5 sequence specificity depending on the identity of the nucleotides at N(−1)N(−2).
