Ribonuclease III

Ribonuclease III is an enzyme that plays a key role in gene regulation by specifically cutting RNA molecules. It processes primary RNA transcripts into their mature forms, which are necessary for making proteins. By targeting and cleaving RNA at precise locations, Ribonuclease III helps control which genes are active and how much protein is produced. It is essential for proper cellular function and gene expression in various organisms, including bacteria and humans.
