Dbp10p, a putative RNA helicase from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, is required for ribosome biogenesis.
Ribosome biogenesis requires, in addition to rRNA molecules and ribosomal proteins, a multitude of trans-acting factors. Recently it has become clear that in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae many RNA helicases of the DEAD-box and related families are involved in ribosome biogenesis. Here we show that the previously uncharacterised open reading frame YDL031w (renamed DBP10 for DEAD-box protein...
متن کاملSlx9p facilitates efficient ITS1 processing of pre-rRNA in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Slx9p (Ygr081cp) is a nonessential yeast protein previously linked genetically with the DNA helicase Sgs1p. Here we report that Slx9p is involved in ribosome biogenesis in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Deletion of SLX9 results in a mild growth defect and a reduction in the level of 18S rRNA. Co-immunoprecipitation experiments showed that Slx9p is associated with 35S, 23S, and 20S pre-rRNA...
متن کاملThe RNA catabolic enzymes Rex4p, Rnt1p, and Dbr1p show genetic interaction with trans-acting factors involved in processing of ITS1 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae pre-rRNA.
Eukaryotes have two types of ribosomes containing either 5.8SL or 5.8SS rRNA that are produced by alternative pre-rRNA processing. The exact processing pathway for the minor 5.8SL rRNA species is poorly documented. We have previously shown that the trans-acting factor Rrp5p and the RNA exonuclease Rex4p genetically interact to influence the ratio between the two forms of 5.8S rRNA in the yeast ...
متن کاملThe nucleolar protein Esf2 interacts directly with the DExD/H box RNA helicase, Dbp8, to stimulate ATP hydrolysis
While 18 putative RNA helicases are involved in ribosome biogenesis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, their enzymatic properties have remained largely biochemically uncharacterized. To better understand their function, we examined the enzymatic properties of Dpb8, a DExD/H box protein previously shown to be required for the synthesis of the 18S rRNA. As expected for an RNA helicase, we demonstrate t...
متن کاملLimited portability of G-patch domains in regulators of the Prp43 RNA helicase required for pre-mRNA splicing and ribosomal RNA maturation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
The Prp43 DExD/H-box protein is required for progression of the biochemically distinct pre-messenger RNA and ribosomal RNA (rRNA) maturation pathways. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the Spp382/Ntr1, Sqs1/Pfa1, and Pxr1/Gno1 proteins are implicated as cofactors necessary for Prp43 helicase activation during spliceosome dissociation (Spp382) and rRNA processing (Sqs1 and Pxr1). While otherwise diss...
