Trypanosome mitochondrial gRNAs are produced from the 5′ region of a long precursor
RET1 TUTase and DSS1 exonuclease function as subunits of the 3′ processome (MPsome)
RET1-catalyzed uridylation induces 3′-5′ degradation of gRNA precursor
Antisense transcripts control exonucleolytic processing to define mature 3′ end
