Rixosome
The rixosome is a protein complex involved in RNA degradation, ribosomal RNA (rRNA) processing, and ribosome biogenesis. It was named after the S. cerevisiae gene RIX1.[1][2] The rixosome is associated with human PRC1 and PRC2 complexes. The interaction with PRC1 appears to be through the RING1B domain of PRC1 based on mutational analysis. The co-localization of the rixosome and PRC complex suggest a role in the rixosomal degradation of nascent RNA to contribute to the silencing of many Polycomb targets in human cells.[3] Regulation of the interaction with the PRC1 complex is mediated by SENP3 which deSUMOylates several rixosome subunits.[4]
