Check out our latest pre-print with @hauke_hillen and @VuckoviccAna, where we show that FASTKD5 joins RNase P and RNase Z in processing mitochondrial RNA. FASTKD5 processes mitochondrial pre-mRNAs at non-canonical cleavage sites biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

FASTKD5 processes mitochondrial pre-mRNAs at non-canonical cleavage sites

The regulation of mammalian mitochondrial gene expression is largely post-transcriptional and the first step in translating the 13 polypeptides encoded in mtDNA is endonucleolytic cleavage of the...
