High impact information on LOC397919

 

Biological context of LOC397919

  • While the role of the C-terminal domain of nucleolin in vivo has yet to be established, our findings suggest that it may act to unfold regions of ribosomal RNA so that a second domain of nucleolin has access to its specific binding site [3].
  • This gene, designated RNP1, encodes an acidic protein that is similar in sequence to a variety of previously isolated RNA binding proteins, including nucleolin, poly (A) binding protein, and small nuclear ribonucleoproteins [4].
  • In contrast, the monoclonal antibody Nu-1H6 binds poorly to the modified forms of nucleolin arising during meiosis and mitosis [5].
  • In addition, either an acidic domain of nucleolin without phosphorylation sites, or an acidic domain containing 4 CK2 sites, or a cluster of 5 cdc2 sites was fused to the MBP-nuclear localization signal (MBP-NLS) [6].
 

Anatomical context of LOC397919

  • The two nucleolin polypeptides of 95 kDa and 90 kDa molecular mass are both expressed in oocytes and are found predominantly in the nucleoli [7].
  • Staining of the coilin- and Sm-depleted coiled bodies was normal with antibodies against two nucleolar proteins, fibrillarin and nucleolin [8].
  • The particle has a protein kinase activity that phosphorylates its own mRNP3+4, nucleolin, and a 31-kDa polypeptide component and exhibits translational inhibition in both the wheat germ extract and rabbit reticulocyte lysate systems [9].
 

Associations of LOC397919 with chemical compounds

  • The glycine-rich domain of nucleolin has an unusual supersecondary structure responsible for its RNA-helix-destabilizing properties [3].
 

Other interactions of LOC397919

  • Quite surprisingly, the immuno-depleted extracts still promoted the assembly of nuclear bodies which lacked either fibrillarin, nucleolin, xNopp180 or B23/NO38 [10].
  • A comparative analysis of FRGY2 and nucleolin C-terminal domains has revealed common structural features representing the signature of a particular type of auxiliary domain, which has co-evolved with the CSD and the RRM [11].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of LOC397919

  • Direct analysis of rDNA transcription units by electron microscopy reveals that the number of polymerase complexes/rDNA unit is drastically reduced in the presence of increased amounts of nucleolin and corresponds to the level of reduction of 40 S pre-rRNA [2].
