Human telomerase RNA (hTR) is transcribed as a precursor that is then posttranscriptionally modified and processed. A fraction of the transcripts is oligoadenylated by TRAMP and either processed into the mature hTR or degraded by the exosome. Here, we characterize the processing of 3' extended forms of varying length by PARN and RRP6. We show that tertiary RNA interactions unique to the longer transcripts favor RNA degradation, whereas H/ACA RNP assembly stimulates productive processing. Interes ...[more]
