Mitochondrial ribonuclease P protein 1 Mitochondrial ribonuclease P protein 1 (or tRNA methyltransferase 10 homolog C) functions in mitochondrial tRNA maturation and is part of mitochondrial ribonuclease P, an enzyme composed of MRPP1/RG9MTD1, MRPP2/HSD17B10 and MRPP3/KIAA0391, which cleaves tRNA molecules in their 5'-ends. MRRP1 is related to Trm10, a tRNA m1G9 methyltransferase and is a member of the SPOUT (SpoU-TrmD) methyltransferase (MTase) superfamily, a large class of S-adenosyl-L-methionine (AdoMet or SAM)-dependent RNA MTases which are structurally characterized by a deep trefoil knot.
