Prokaryotic ribonuclease PH (EC:2.7.7.56) (RNase PH) is a phosphorolytic exoribonuclease that removes nucleotide residues following the -CCA terminus of tRNA and adds nucleotides to the ends of RNA molecules by using nucleoside diphosphates as substrates [1]. There is a similar protein in Caenorhabditis elegans that belongs to this group.
More information about these proteins can be found at Protein of the Month: RNA Exosomes [2].
