Pharmacy technicians are professionals who play an important role in today’s health care landscape, but dealing with a toxic work environment can significantly affect their motivation, productivity, and even their physical and mental health. There are many positions that can be deeply rewarding, but every so often, a workplace becomes a toxic work environment. It could be caused by a bad manager, a new coworker, or a new company that seems just not to care about its employees.

AbstractThe MYCN oncoprotein broadly binds active promoters in a heterodimer with its partner protein MAX. MYCN also interacts with the nuclear exosome, a 3'-5' exoribonuclease complex, suggesting a function in RNA metabolism. Here we show that MYCN forms stable high molecular weight complexes with the exosome and multiple RNA-binding proteins. In cells, MYCN binds to thousands of intronic RNAs; recombinant MYCN directly binds RNA via a short, highly conserved sequence termed MYCBoxI.
