Disease relevance of CBF5

 

High impact information on CBF5

  • The box H + ACA snoRNAs carry Cbf5p, the putative rRNA pseudouridine synthase [2].
  • Using the snR81-deletion strain, Nhp2p- or Cbf5p-conditional depletion strain, and a cbf5 mutation strain, we further demonstrated that the pseudouridylase activity is dependent on snR81 snoRNP in vivo [3].
  • A CBF5 mutation that disrupts nucleolar localization of early tRNA biosynthesis in yeast also suppresses tRNA gene-mediated transcriptional silencing [4].
  • Cotranscriptional recruitment of the pseudouridylsynthetase Cbf5p and of the RNA binding protein Naf1p during H/ACA snoRNP assembly [5].
  • Naf1p and Cbf5p cross-link predominantly with the 3' end of these genes, in a pattern similar to that observed for transcription elongation factor Spt16p [5].
 

Biological context of CBF5

 

Anatomical context of CBF5

  • Our results provide additional evidence that Cbf5p is the Psi synthase component of box H/ACA snoRNPs and suggest that the pseudouridylation of rRNA, although not absolutely required for cell survival, is essential for the formation of fully functional ribosomes [1].
 

Associations of CBF5 with chemical compounds

 

Physical interactions of CBF5

 

Regulatory relationships of CBF5

  • In yeast, Naf1p interacts with H/ACA snoRNP proteins and may promote assembly of Cbf5p (the yeast ortholog of dyskerin) with nascent pre-snoRNAs [12].
 

Other interactions of CBF5

  • Indeed, depletion of Naf1p leads to a specific and dramatic decrease in the steady-state accumulation of all box H/ACA snoRNAs tested and of Cbf5p, Gar1p, and Nop10p [13].
  • We also provide further in vivo evidence that Mck1p, a protein kinase, is specifically associated with the centromere proteins Cbf2p and Cbf5p, which were previously shown to interact in vitro [14].
  • Unexpectedly, we identified multiple SL mutations that were complemented by Cbf5p and Nop58p [15].
  • Putative homologs of the kinetochore protein SKP1 (suppressor of kinetochore protein 1p of yeast) were found in both species and of CBF5p (centromere binding factor 5 of yeast) in barley [16].
  • Chromatin immunoprecipitation experiments show that Naf1p and the pseudouridylsynthetase Cbf5p cross-link specifically with the chromatin of H/ACA small nucleolar RNA (snoRNA) genes [5].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of CBF5

  • Immunoprecipitation studies using either anti-Cbf5p antibodies or a hemagglutinin-tagged Nhp2p demonstrated that both proteins are associated with all H/ACA-motif snoRNPs [17].
  • Sequence analysis of the individual polypeptides demonstrated that the three proteins Gar1p, Nhp2p, and Cbf5p are common to both the snR30 and snR42 complexes [17].
  • A reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) approach was used to clone a cDNA encoding the EUGLENA: gracilis homolog of yeast Cbf5p, a protein component of the box H/ACA class of snoRNPs that mediate pseudouridine formation in eukaryotic rRNA [18].
