Structural and biophysical insights into the unique RNase YicC

RNA cleavage and processing are highly conserved regulatory mechanisms across bacteria. We recently discovered a novel family of RNases called YicC, conserved across all bacteria but unrelated to known RNase families. The cryo-EM structure of RNA bound to Escherichia coli YicC endonuclease suggested a clamshell-like ri...
