نویسنده
چکیده
A conserved complex of multiple 3'-to-5' exonucleases has been discovered recently in eukaryotes. This essential complex, the exosome, is required for diverse RNA processing events.

Origins and activities of the eukaryotic exosome.
The exosome is a multi-subunit 3'-5' exonucleolytic complex that is conserved in structure and function in all eukaryotes studied to date. The complex is present in both the nucleus and cytoplasm, where it continuously works to ensure adequate quantities and quality of RNAs by facilitating normal RNA processing and turnover, as well as by participating in more complex RNA quality-control mechan...
متن کاملNrd1 interacts with the nuclear exosome for 3' processing of RNA polymerase II transcripts.
The exosome complex is involved in multiple RNA processing and degradation pathways. How exosome is recruited to particular RNA substrates and then chooses between RNA processing and degradation modes remains unclear. We find that the RNA binding protein Nrd1, complexed with its partners Nab3, Sen1, and cap binding complex, physically interacts with the nuclear form of exosome. Nrd1 stimulates ...
متن کاملRNA surveillance by the nuclear RNA exosome: mechanisms and significance
The nuclear RNA exosome is an essential and versatile machinery that regulates maturation and degradation of a huge plethora of RNA species. The past two decades have witnessed remarkable progress in understanding the whole picture of its RNA substrates and the structural basis of its functions. In addition to the exosome itself, recent studies focusing on associated co-factors have been elucid...
متن کاملFunctions of the exosome in rRNA, snoRNA and snRNA synthesis.
The yeast nuclear exosome contains multiple 3'-->5' exoribonucleases, raising the question of why so many activities are present in the complex. All components are required during the 3' processing of the 5.8S rRNA, together with the putative RNA helicase Dob1p/Mtr4p. During this processing three distinct steps can be resolved, and hand-over between different exonucleases appears to occur at le...
متن کاملThe Sm Complex Is Required for the Processing of Non-Coding RNAs by the Exosome
A key question in the field of RNA regulation is how some exosome substrates, such as spliceosomal snRNAs and telomerase RNA, evade degradation and are processed into stable, functional RNA molecules. Typical feature of these non-coding RNAs is presence of the Sm complex at the 3'end of the mature RNA molecule. Here, we report that in Saccharomyces cerevisiae presence of intact Sm binding site ...
