Abstract

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are covalently closed, stable RNA molecules with broad physiological functions. Precise regulation of circRNA turnover is essential for cellular homeostasis. A recent study by Deng et al. uncovers an evolutionarily conserved mechanism in which RNAseK and the lysosome act synergistically to degrade circRNAs across metazoans.
