Members of this family are involved in rDNA transcription and rRNA processing. They probably also cleave a stem-loop structure at the 3' end of U2 snRNA to ensure formation of the correct U2 3' end; they are involved in polyadenylation-independent transcription termination. Some members may be mitochondrial ribosomal protein subunit L15, others may be 60S ribosomal protein L3.
