Reconstitution of the complete pathway of ITS2 processing at the pre-ribosome
Removal of internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) from pre-ribosomal RNA is essential to make functional ribosomes. This complicated processing reaction begins with a single endonucleolytic cleavage followed by exonucleolytic trimming at both new cleavage ...

Engineering of a conditional allele reveals multiple roles of XRN2 in Caenorhabditis elegans development and substrate specificity in microRNA turnover [PDF]
Although XRN2 proteins are highly conserved eukaryotic 5′→3′ exonucleases, little is known about their function in animals. Here, we characterize Caenorhabditis elegans XRN2, which we find to be a broadly and constitutively expressed nuclear protein.

Nuclear Surveillance and Degradation of Hypomodified Initiator tRNA\u3csup\u3eMet\u3c/sup\u3e in \u3cem\u3eS. cerevisiae\u3c/em\u3e [PDF]
The tRNA m1A58 methyltransferase is composed of two subunits encoded by the essential genes TRM6 and TRM61 (formerly GCD10 and GCD14). The trm6-504 mutation results in a defective m1A methyltransferase (Mtase) and a temperature-sensitive growth phenotype

Xrn1 Exoribonuclease—An Intrinsic Marker of Yeast Population Growth
Background: Xrn1 exoribonuclease is the major mRNA degradation enzyme in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In exponentially growing cells, Xrn1 is localised in the yeast cells and directs the degradation of mRNA molecules. Xrn1 is gradually deposited and presumably inactivated in the processing bodies (P-bodies) as the yeast population ages.

Processing of preribosomal RNA in Saccharomyces cerevisiae [PDF]
Most, if not all RNAs, are transcribed as precursors that require processing to gain functionality. Ribosomal RNAs (rRNA) from all organisms undergo both exo- and endonucleolytic processing.

The role of RNA Polymerase II-dependent transcription elongation in the cross-talk between mRNA synthesis and decay. [PDF]
The main molecule in gene expression is messenger RNA (mRNA) which transfers the information contained in genes in the nucleus to the cytoplasm where it is translated into proteins that carry out cellular functions. mRNA levels are determined through its

Exoribonuclease-resistant RNAs in tick-borne flaviviruses
Tick-borne flaviviruses (TBF) are a group of emerging and re-emerging pathogens that affect large geographic regions, including Europe, Asia, North America, and Africa, posing a major public health threat. A critical aspect of their molecular biology and pathology is the presence of evolutionarily conserved functional RNAs in their 3’ untranslated ...
