DIS3 [YOL021C]
Ribosomal RNA-processing protein 44; Exosome core complex catalytic subunit; has both endonuclease and 3'-5' exonuclease activity; involved in 3'-5' RNA processing and degradation in both the nucleus and the cytoplasm; role in degradation of tRNAs; similar to E. coli RNase R and to human DIS3, which partially complements dis3-81 heat sensitivity; mutations in Dis3p analogous to human mutations implicated in multiple myeloma impair exosome function; protein abundance increases under to DNA replication stress
