| UniProt functional annotation for Q02555 | |||
| UniProt code: Q02555. |
| Organism: | Saccharomyces cerevisiae (strain ATCC 204508 / S288c) (Baker's yeast). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Fungi; Dikarya; Ascomycota; Saccharomycotina; Saccharomycetes; Saccharomycetales; Saccharomycetaceae; Saccharomyces. | |
| Function: | DsRNA-specific nuclease that cleaves eukaryotic pre-ribosomal RNA at the U3 snoRNP-dependent A0 site in the 5'-external transcribed spacer (ETS) and in the 3'-ETS. In vitro, cleaves synthetic 5'-ETS RNA A0 site in the absence of snoRNA or other factors. Has an essential growth function in addition to pre-rRNA processing. | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=Endonucleolytic cleavage to 5'-phosphomonoester.; EC=3.1.26.3; | |
| Miscellaneous: | Present with 4970 molecules/cell in log phase SD medium. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14562106}. | |
