RNAP II produces capped 18S and 25S ribosomal RNAs resistant to 5 ′-monophosphate dependent processive 5′ to 3′ exonuclease in polymerase switched Saccharomyces cerevisiae
We have previously found that, in the pathogenic yeast Candida albicans, 18S and 25S ribosomal RNA components, containing more than one phosphate on their 5 ′-end were resistant to 5′-monophosphate requiring 5′ → ... (Source: BMC Cell Biology)
