Function An RNase that has 5'-3' exonuclease activity. May be involved in RNA degradation.
Subunit Homodimer.
case <FTGroup:1> or <FTGroup:2>
Cofactor Zn(2+)
Note: Binds 2 Zn(2+) ions per subunit. It is not clear if Zn(2+) or Mg(2+) is physiologically important.
end case
Subcellular location Cytoplasm.
Similarity Belongs to the metallo-beta-lactamase superfamily. RNA-metabolizing metallo-beta-lactamase-like family. Archaeal RNase J subfamily.
