Reconstitution and structure of a bacterial Pnkp1–Rnl–Hen1 RNA repair complex

Bacterial ribotoxins target and cleave RNAs involved in translation, with target organism resistance being mediated by RNA repair systems. Here, Wang et al. identify, report the crystal structure, and characterize the activity of Pnkp1–Rnl–Hen1, a novel RNA repair complex from Capnocytophaga gingivalis.
