What's a GeneRIF?

To recognize the specific substrates, the double-stranded RNA-binding domain of Rnt1p is specialized, featuring a alphabetabetabetaalphaalphaalpha topology and a sequence-specific RNA-binding motif at the C-terminus.

The functional cycle of eukaryotic Rnt1p includes five consecutive steps of double-stranded RNA processing.

Data indicate that mutant of the RNA processing machinery (RNT1), and RNA/DNA helicase SEN1 mutants that are unable to interact with Rnt1p, exhibit a flocculation phenotype.
Title: Flocculation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is regulated by RNA/DNA helicase Sen1p.
the data suggest that Rnt1p reactivity is triggered by malleable RNA degradation signals that permit dynamic response to changes in growth conditions

Title: Structure of a eukaryotic RNase III postcleavage complex reveals a double-ruler mechanism for substrate selection.
The Rnt1p double-stranded RNA binding domain has an extended hydrophobic core comprising helix alpha1, the alpha1-beta1 loop, and helix alpha3.
Title: Intrinsic dynamics of an extended hydrophobic core in the S. cerevisiae RNase III dsRBD contributes to recognition of specific RNA binding sites.
Results support a model for transcription termination in which cotranscriptional cleavage by Rnt1p provides access for exoribonucleases in the absence of polyadenylation signals.
Title: Yeast RNase III triggers polyadenylation-independent transcription termination.
A fail-safe transcription termination mechanism is mediated by Rnt1 cleavage of the nascent transcript in S. cerevisiae.
Title: Fail-safe transcriptional termination for protein-coding genes in S. cerevisiae.
The results indicate that Rnt1p uses a network of nucleotide interactions to identify its substrate and support two distinct modes of binding.
Title: Yeast ribonuclease III uses a network of multiple hydrogen bonds for RNA binding and cleavage.
Rnt1p physically interacts with RNA polymerase I (RNAPI) and its deletion decreases the transcription of the rRNA gene and increases the number of rRNA genes with an open chromatin structure
