FUNCTIONAn RNase that has 5'-3' exonuclease and possibly endonuclease activity. Involved in maturation of rRNA and in some organisms also mRNA maturation and/or decay.
case <FTGroup:1> and <FTGroup:2>
COFACTOR Name=Zn(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:29105; Note=Binds up to 2 Zn(2+) ions per subunit. It is not clear if Zn(2+) or Mg(2+) is physiologically important.;
else case <FTGroup:1> and not <FTGroup:2>
COFACTOR Name=Zn(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:29105; Note=Binds 1 Zn(2+) ion per subunit. It is not clear if Zn(2+) or Mg(2+) is physiologically important.;
end case
SUBUNITHomodimer, may be a subunit of the RNA degradosome.
SUBCELLULAR LOCATIONCytoplasm.
SIMILARITYBelongs to the metallo-beta-lactamase superfamily. RNA- metabolizing metallo-beta-lactamase-like family. Bacterial RNase J subfamily.

Comments Duplicated in many Bacillota, often one of the copies can only bind 1 metal ion. In B.subtilis the 2 enzymes do not have exactly the same function. A closely-related protein exists in Archaea, which is about 100 residues shorter at the C-terminus. The archaeal protein does not seem to have endonuclease activity.
