RNA Exonuclease 1 Like Protein 1 (REXO1L1)

GOR

RNA Exonuclease 1 Like Protein 1 (REXO1L1)
A hydrolyzing reaction that breaks phosphodiester bonds at either the 3’ or the 5’ end occurs. Its close relative is the endonuclease, which cleaves phosphodiester bonds in the middle of a polynucleotide chain.In both archaebacteria and eukaryotes, one of the main routes of RNA degradation is performed by the multi-protein exosome complex, which consists largely of 3' to 5' exoribonucleases. Exonuclease GOR is a 675 amino acid protein belonging to the REXO1/REXO3 family.It has been suggested that the anti-GOR response is closely related to HCV infection and may reflect an HCV-associated autoimmune phenomenon. HCV capsid proteins initiate the autoimmune process in the liver because of cross reaction of antibodies with human Gor protein 19-27, which causes autoimmune chronic hepatitis.
