We studied the cellular localization of the archaeal exosome, an RNA-processing protein complex containing orthologs of the eukaryotic proteins Rrp41, Rrp42, Rrp4 and Csl4, and an archaea-specific subunit annotated as DnaG. Fractionation of cell-free extracts of Sulfolobus solfataricus in sucrose density gradients revealed that DnaG and the active-site comprising subunit Rrp41 are enriched together with surface layer proteins in a yellow colored ring, implicating that the exosome is membrane-bound. In accordance with this assumption, DnaG and Rrp41 were detected at the periphery of the cell by immunofluorescence microscopy. Our finding suggests that RNA processing in Archaea is spatially organized.
