Exosome complex protein LRP1

UniProtKB accession:  P38801

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Required for exosome-dependent processing of pre-rRNA and small nucleolar RNA (snRNA) precursors. Involved in processing of 35S pre-rRNA at the A0, A1 and A2 sites. Required for activity of RRP6 in 7S pre-rRNA processing. Also has a role in 3'-processing of U4 and U5 small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs). Acts as a mRNA export factor. Mediates mRNA degradation upon UV irradiation. Maintains genome integrity where it is involved in both non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) and homologous recombination pathway repair of double strand DNA breaks. During NHEJ, required for joining 3'-overhanging ends. Also involved in telomere length regulation and maintenance.
