Rpp40 - ribonuclease P/MRP subunit p40

Predicted to enable ribonuclease P RNA binding activity. Predicted to contribute to ribonuclease MRP activity and ribonuclease P activity. Predicted to be involved in endonucleolytic cleavage in ITS1 to separate SSU-rRNA from 5.8S rRNA and LSU-rRNA from tricistronic rRNA transcript (SSU-rRNA, 5.8S rRNA, LSU-rRNA); endonucleolytic cleavage involved in tRNA processing; and tRNA 5'-leader removal. Predicted to be located in nucleolus. Predicted to be part of multimeric ribonuclease P complex and ribonuclease MRP complex. Orthologous to human RPP40 (ribonuclease P/MRP subunit p40).
