UniProt functional annotation for Q9UXC2

UniProt code: Q9UXC2.

Organism: Saccharolobus solfataricus (strain ATCC 35092 / DSM 1617 / JCM 11322 / P2) (Sulfolobus solfataricus).
Taxonomy: Archaea; Crenarchaeota; Thermoprotei; Sulfolobales; Sulfolobaceae; Saccharolobus.
 
Function: Catalytic component of the exosome, which is a complex involved in RNA degradation. Has 3'->5' exoribonuclease activity. Can also synthesize heteromeric RNA-tails. Binds RNA. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP- Rule:MF_00591, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15951817, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17380186, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20488184}.
 
Subunit: Component of the archaeal exosome complex. Forms a hexameric ring-like arrangement composed of 3 Rrp41-Rrp42 heterodimers. The hexameric ring associates with a trimer of Rrp4 and/or Csl4 subunits. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00591, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15951817, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16285928, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17380186, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20090900, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20488184, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23319881}.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00591}.
Similarity: Belongs to the RNase PH family. Rrp41 subfamily. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00591}.
