The '''Exosome complex''' (or just- Exosome) is a multi-protein complex capable of degrading various types of RNA molecules. The Exosome complex is found in eukaryotic cell, and also in archaea, while in bacteria it is found as a simpler complex (but it has the same function). <ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exosome_complex#Structure</ref> | |||

Some of the exosome components are:<br /> | |||
*'''MTR3''' and '''SKI6''' are part of RNase PH domain-containing subunits proposed to form a central channel which threads RNA for degradation.<br /> | |||
*'''MTR4''' interacts with Nop53 and together they have a role in the maturation of 5.8S rRNA<ref>PMID:28883156</ref>.<br /> | |||
*'''Rrp6''' is a nuclear-specific subunit promoting cell survival during heat stress<ref>PMID:32521279</ref>.<br /> | |||
*'''Rrp44''' is the catalytic subunit <ref>PMID:19060898</ref>.<br /> | |||
*'''Csl4''' is required for mRNA decay.<br /> | |||
*'''M-phase phosphoprotein 6''' is involved in the 3'-processing of the 7S pre-RNA to the mature 5.8S rRNA. | |||

===Enzymatic function=== | |||
The exosome is primarily a 3'-5' exoribonuclease, meaning that it degrades RNA molecules from their 3' end. In eukaryotes it also have an endoribonucleolytic function, meaning it cleaves RNA at sites within the molecule. | |||
===Substrates=== | |||
The exosome is involved in the degradation and processing of a wide variety of RNA species. Substrates of the exosome include messenger RNA, ribosomal RNA, and many species of small RNAs. | |||

===Autoimmunity=== | |||
The exosome complex is the target of autoantibodies, which are known to be found in people that suffer from various autoimmune diseases (especially PM/Scl overlap syndrome). In the autoimune diseases, antibodies are mainly directed against two of the proteins of the complex, called PM/Scl-100 and PM/Scl-75. | The exosome complex is the target of autoantibodies, which are known to be found in people that suffer from various autoimmune diseases (especially PM/Scl overlap syndrome).

===Cancer treatment=== | |||
The Exosome is found to be inhibited by a cancer chemotherapy drug, which called antimetabolite fluorouracil. This drug is one of the most successful drugs for treating solid tumors. | The Exosome is found to be inhibited by a cancer chemotherapy drug, which called antimetabolite fluorouracil.
