Abstract excerpt
Termination by RNA polymerase III (Pol III) produces RNAs whose 3' oligo(U) termini are bound by La protein, a chaperone that protects RNAs from 3' exonucleases and promotes their maturation. Multiple reports indicate that yeasts use La-dependent and -independent pathways for tRNA maturation, with defective pre-tRNAs being most sensitive to decay and most dependent on La for maturation and function. The Rpc11p...
