Exosome component 8 and transcription factor 4 (EXOSC8) is a part of the exosome complex. In the cytoplasm, the RNA exosome complex is engaged in general mRNA turnover and specifically degrades naturally unstable mRNAs containing AU-rich elements (AREs) within their 3' untranslated regions, and in RNA inspection pathways, preventing translation of aberrant mRNAs. EXOSC8 appears to be involved in degradation of histone mRNA. EXOSC8 attaches to ARE-containing RNAs. The EXOSC8 gene encodes a 3'-5' exoribonuclease, which specifically interacts with mRNAs containing AU-rich elements. The EXOSC8 protein is part of the exosome complex, which is significant for the degradation of many RNA species.

Exosome Component 3 (EXOSC3) is a non-catalytic component of the human exosome, a complex with 3'-5' exoribonuclease activity. EXOSC3 takes part in various RNA processing and degradation activities including degradation of histone mRNA. Linked pseudogenes of EXOSC3 are located on chromosome 19 and 21.

MYC Induced Nuclear Antigen, also known as MINA is an oxygenase which can function both as a histone lysine demethylase and a ribosomal histidine hydroxylase. MINA is involved in the demethylation of trimethylated Lys-9 on histone H3 (H3K9me3), leading to an increase in ribosomal RNA expression. MINA also catalyzes the hydroxylation of 60S ribosomal protein L27a on His-39. In addition, MINA plays a significant role in cell growth and survival. MINA is implicated in ribosome biogenesis, probably in the duration of the assembly process of pre-ribosomal particles.

There are numerous processed pseudogenes of RPL26 dispersed through the genome as usual for genes encoding ribosomal proteins.

Recombinant Human Ubiquitin having the accession number of P62988 was conjugated to Biotin. RPS27A is a small protein composed of 76 amino acids. RPS27A is found only in eukaryotic organisms among which shows strong sequence conservation. The RPS27A protein is present in all cell types, thus giving rise to its name.
RPS27A is found either in free form or conjugated to proteins through a covalent bond between the glycine at the C-terminal end and the side chains of lysine.
The connection of multiple copies of RPS27A targets the proteins for degradation by the 26S proteosome. RPS27A ligation is an ATP-dependent multi-step process. RPS27A is activated by the E1 enzyme. The attachment of RPS27A to the target protein is catalyzed by the E2 enzyme acting in concert with E3 which is involved in the recognition of the substrate protein.

LRRC59 controls nuclear import of exogenous FGF1 by enabling interaction with the nuclear import mechanism and by transporting cytosolic FGF1 to and through the nuclear pores. LRRC59 is essential for nuclear import of FGF1, but not that of FGF2.

EXOSC4 is a Non-catalytic component of the RNA exosome complex that has 3'->5' exoribonuclease activity and takes part in several cellular RNA processing and degradation procedures. In the nucleus, the RNA exosome complex contributes to accurate maturation of stable RNA species such as rRNA, snRNA and snoRNA, in the removal of RNA processing by-products and non-coding 'pervasive' transcripts, like antisense RNA species and promoter-upstream transcripts (PROMPTs), and of mRNAs with processing deficiencies, thus controlling or excluding their export to the cytoplasm. Diseases related with EXOSC4 include hepatitis a, and mouth disease.

Ubiquitin is a highly conserved 76 amino acid protein expressed in all eukariotes. Ub is found either in free form or conjugated to proteins as monomer or as chain of ubiquitin molecules. The most well characterized consequence of polyubiquitination is substrate degradation, while mono-ubiquitinated proteins are not degraded. Ubiquitin attachment to protein substrate is a complex process involving a ubiquitin activating enzyme (E1), a ubiquitin conjugating enzyme (E2) and a ubiquitin protein ligase (E3). The first ubiquitin moiety is transferred to the e-NH2 group of a Lys residue of the protein substrate to generate an isopeptide bond. In successive reactions, a poly ubiquitin chain is synthesized by processive transfer of additional activated moieties to Lys48 of the previously conjugated ubiquitin molecule. Ubiquitin K48R prevents the formation of poly ubiquitin chains via Lys48 linkages with mono ubiquitin molecules, avoiding the degradation of protein substrates.

RNA binding motif protein 17 (RBM17) is a splice factor which binds to the single stranded 3'AG at the exon/intron border and promotes its utilization in the 2nd catalytic step. The RBM17 protein is involved in the regulation of alternative splicing and the utilization of cryptic splice sites. RBM17 protein also stimulates the utilization of a cryptic splice site created by the beta-110 mutation in the HBB gene. The ensuing frameshift leads to sickle cell anemia.

Furthermore, single-point mutations in the conserved putative active site of Utp24 but not Utp23 annul its function in ribosome biogenesis.
