The eukaryotic exosome is a key nuclease for the degradation, processing and quality control of a wide variety of RNAs. Here, we report electron microscopic reconstructions and pseudo-atomic models of the ten-subunit Saccharomyces cerevisiae exosome in the unbound and RNA-bound states. In the RNA-bound structures, extra density that is visible at the entry and exit sites of the exosome channel indicates that a substrate-threading mechanism is used by the eukaryotic exosome. This channelling mech ...[more]
