Abstract excerpt
Xrn1p of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a major cytoplasmic RNA turnover exonuclease which is evolutionarily conserved from yeasts to mammals. Deletion of the XRN1 gene causes pleiotropic phenotypes, which have been interpreted as indirect consequences of the RNA turnover defect. By sequence comparisons, we have identified three loosely defined, common 5'-3' exonuclease motifs. The significance of motif II has been...
