Abstract excerpt
The 5'→3' exoribonucleases (XRNs) have important functions in transcription, RNA metabolism and RNA interference. The structure of Rat1 (also known as Xrn2) showed that the two highly conserved regions of XRNs form a single, large domain that defines the active site of the enzyme. Xrn1 has a 510-residue segment after the conserved regions that is required for activity but is absent from Rat1/Xrn2. Here we report...
