Abstract excerpt
Non-coding RNAs have critical roles in biological processes, and RNA chaperones can promote their folding into the native shape required for their function. La proteins are a class of highly abundant RNA chaperones that contact pre-tRNAs and other RNA polymerase III transcripts via their common UUU-3'OH ends, as well as through less specific contacts associated with RNA chaperone activity. However, whether La...
