LAS1 RNA processome complex Overview

GO Annotations consist of four mandatory components: a gene product, a term from one of the three Gene Ontology (GO) controlled vocabularies (Molecular Function, Biological Process, and Cellular Component), a reference, and an evidence code.


Summary
Endonuclease responsible for the removal of the second internal transcribed spacer region (ITS2) from 35S pre-ribosomal RNA, located between the 5.8S and 25S rRNA. LAS1 within this complex functions as RNA endonuclease, which cleaves at site C2, yielding a 2′,3′ cyclic phosphate at the 7S pre-rRNA and a hydroxyl group at the 5′ end of the 26S pre-rRNA. Subsequently, GRC3, phosphorylates 26S pre-rRNA at its free 5′-OH group, allowing the associated RAT1 5′ to 3′ exonuclease and its co-factor RAI1 to trim 26S pre-rRNA to 25′S pre-rRNA.
GO Slim Terms

The yeast GO Slim terms are higher level terms that best represent the major S. cerevisiae biological processes, functions, and cellular components. The GO Slim terms listed here are the broader parent terms for the specific terms to which this gene product is annotated, and thus represent the more general processes, functions, and components in which it is involved.
