Several RNase T2 enzymes function in induced tRNA and rRNA turnover in the ciliate Tetrahymena
The functions of eight Tetrahymena thermophila genes encoding RNase T2 family proteins (Rnt2 proteins) are explored in strains lacking one RNT2 gene or combinations of genes. At least three Tetrahymena RNase T2 enzymes are involved in the conditionally induced turnover of tRNA and rRNA
