Abstract
RNA metabolism needs to be tightly regulated in response to
changes in cellular physiology. Ribonucleases (RNases) play
an essential role in almost all aspects of RNA metabolism, including
processing, degradation, and recycling of RNA molecules.
Thus, living systems have evolved to regulate RNase
activity at multiple levels, including transcription, post-transcription,
post-translation, and cellular localization. In addition,
various trans-acting regulators of RNase activity have
been discovered in recent years. This review focuses on the
physiological roles and underlying mechanisms of trans-acting
regulators of RNase activity.
