RNase R

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

RNase R is an 3'-5' exoribonuclease closely related to RNase II, which has been shown to be involved in mRNA degradation in bacteria. [1] RNase R has homologues in many other organisms. When a part of another larger protein has a domain that is very similar to RNase R, this is called an RNase R domain.
