Abstract excerpt
Pathways for the maturation of ribosomal RNAs are complex with numerous intermediate cleavage sites that are not always conserved closely in the course of evolution. Both in eukaryotes and bacteria genetic analyses and in vitro studies have strongly implicated RNase III-like enzymes in the processing of rRNA precursors. In Schizosacharomyces pombe, for example, the RNase III-like Pac1 nuclease has been shown to...
