A dedicated diribonucleotidase resolves a key bottleneck for the terminal step of RNA degradation

Degradation of RNA polymers, an ubiquitous process in all cells, is catalyzed by specific subsets of endo- and exoribonucleases that together recycle RNA fragments into nucleotide monophosphate. In γ-proteobacteria, 3-‘5’ exoribonucleases comprise up to eight distinct enzymes. Among them, Oligoribon...
