The POP1 gene encodes a protein component common to the RNase MRP and RNase P ribonucleoproteins.

Abstract excerpt

Two forms of the yeast 5.8S rRNA are generated from a large precursor by distinct processing pathways. Cleavage at site A3 is required for synthesis of the major, short form, designated 5.8S(S), but not for synthesis of the long form, 5.8S(L). To identify components required for A3 cleavage, a ba...
