Abstract excerpt
The RNA exosome is an essential, evolutionarily conserved ribonuclease required for processing and degradation of key cellular RNAs. The complex maintains RNA homeostasis within every cell by ensuring the proper maturation, quality control and turnover of various RNA species including rRNAs. A growing list of diseases, collectively termed RNA exosomopathies, are caused by mutations in genes encoding structural...
