Components of noncoding RNA surveillance pathways. Noncoding RNA surveillance pathways occur in competition with formation of functional RNPs. Some targets of these pathways are shown in the left panel. The middle panel describes ways in which cofactors assist in recognizing aberrant ncRNAs and assisting in their degradation. The right panel lists the major ribonucleases that carry out degradation of aberrant ncRNAs.
