Figure 1 Twi12 Directs Xrn2 Exonuclease to the Nucleus and Stimulates Its Activity Upon loading with tRNA 3′ fragments (red), Twi12 forms a complex with Xrn2 and Tan1 (TXT). The exonucleolytic activity of Xrn2 and TXT import into the macronucleus depend on the association with Twi12. In the nucleus, Xrn2 (possibly as part of TXT) is involved in various RNA processing and degradation pathways.
