Abstract excerpt
The contribution of RNA degradation to the posttranscriptional control of gene expression confers on it a fundamental role in all biological processes. Ribonucleases (RNases) are essential enzymes that process and degrade RNA and constitute one of the main groups of factors that determine RNA levels in the cells. RNase II is a ubiquitous, highly processive hydrolytic exoribonuclease that plays an important role...
