Nuclear 5' to 3' single-stranded RNA exonuclease; involved in RNA metabolism, including rRNA and snoRNA processing, as well as poly (A+) dependent and independent mRNA transcription termination; required for cotranscriptional pre-rRNA cleavage; displaces Cdk1p from elongating transcripts, especially as RNAPII reaches the poly(A) site, negatively regulates phosphorylation of the CTD of RNAPII, and inhibits RNAPII transcriptional elongation [Source:SGD;Acc:S000005574]
