La proteins bind pre-tRNAs at their UUU-3'OH ends, facilitating their maturation. While the mechanism by which La binds pre-tRNA 3' trailers is known, the function of the RNA-binding β-sheet surface of RRM1 is unknown. How La dissociates from UUU-3'OH-containing trailers after 3' processing is also unknown. La preferentially binds pre-tRNAs over processed tRNAs or 3' trailer products through coupled use of two sites: one on the La motif and another on the RRM1 β surface that binds elsewhere on tRNA. Two sites provide stable pre-tRNA binding while processed tRNA and 3' trailer are released from their single sites relatively fast. RRM1 loop-3 mutations decrease affinity for pre-tRNA and tRNA but not UUU-3'OH trailer, and impair tRNA maturation in vivo. We propose that RRM1 functions in activities that are more complex than UUU-3'OH binding. Accordingly, the RRM1 mutations also impair a RNA chaperone activity of La. The results suggest how La distinguishes precursor from product RNAs, allowing it to recycle onto a new pre-tRNA.
