Abstract

Ribonucleases (RNases) are hydrolytic enzymes that hydrolyze single-stranded RNA, double-stranded RNA, and RNA hybridized with DNA. Cells produce some specific ribonucleases that are needed in a variety of cellular processes, but also a set of general RNases that are secreted or targeted to the lysosome or vacuole. Eukaryotes have developed highly complex RNA processing and multiple turnover pathways. In general, each type of RNA has a distinctive complement of components that accomplish and regulate its biosynthesis and turnover, though there are components that are adapted to act along the multiple pathways. In this paper overview of Saccharomyces cerevisiae RNases is given along with
short description of their functions in RNA processing and turnover in the cell.
