Disease relevance of NOP1

  • Human fibrillarin expressed in vitro migrates on SDS gels as a 36-kDa protein that is specifically immunoprecipitated by antisera from humans with scleroderma autoimmune disease [1].
  • We have isolated a 1.1-kilobase cDNA clone that encodes human fibrillarin by screening a hepatoma library in parallel with DNA probes derived from the fibrillarin genes of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (NOP1) and Xenopus laevis [1].
  • Saccharomyces cerevisiae mother cells undergo an aging program that includes morphologic changes, sterility, redistribution of the Sir transcriptional silencing complex from HM loci and telomeres to the nucleolus, alterations in nucleolar architecture, and accumulation of extrachromosomal ribosomal DNA circles (ERCs) [2].
  • In dysplastic adenomas and carcinomas, p27BBP displayed a large increase of its nucleolar component that was superimposable to argyrophylic nucleolar organizing region-associated proteins and was associated with the nuclear matrix [3].
  • Expression of nucleolar protein p120 in human lung cancer: difference in histological types as a marker for proliferation [4].

Associations of NOP1 with chemical compounds

  • snR31 is a RNA species of 225 nt. which has the trimethyl guanosine cap structure typical of small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs) and yeast small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs), and is associated with the nucleolar proteins fibrillarin (NOP1) and GAR1 [16].
  • Among the few proteins of the eukaryotic nucleolus that have been characterized, four proteins, nucleolin, fibrillarin, SSB1 and NSR1, possess a common structural motif, the GAR domain, which is rich in glycine and arginine residues [17].
  • The NOP77 allele which complements the synthetic lethal nop1 strains has an alanine at position 308, predicted to lie in helix alpha 1 of RRM3, whereas the non-complementing nop77-1 allele contains a proline at the corresponding position [18].
  • Growth on glucose medium results in the depletion of NOP1 over several generations, during which cell growth is progressively impaired [19].
  • We show that purified snoRNPs are able to reproduce the site-specific methylation pattern on target RNA and that the predicted S-adenosyl-L-methionine-binding region of Nop1p is responsible for the catalytic activity [20].
 

Physical interactions of NOP1

  • Our findings are consistent with the notion that nucleolar localization is a result of the binding interactions of various domains of NSR1 within the nucleolus rather than the presence of a specific nucleolar targeting signal [21].
  • We report the solution structure of Rnt1p dsRBD complexed to the 5' terminal hairpin of one of its small nucleolar RNA substrates, the snR47 precursor [22].
  • Several small nucleolar RNAs co-immunoprecipitate with Sen1 but differentially associate with the wild-type and mutant protein [23].
  • A novel ribonucleoprotein complex enriched in nucleolar proteins was purified from yeast extracts and constituents were identified by mass spectrometry [24].
  • The yeast nucleolar protein Cbf5p is involved in rRNA biosynthesis and interacts genetically with the RNA polymerase I transcription factor RRN3 [25].
 

Co-localisations of NOP1

 

Regulatory relationships of NOP1

 

Other interactions of NOP1

  • GAR1 is an essential small nucleolar RNP protein required for pre-rRNA processing in yeast [17].
  • We propose that NOP77p mediates specific interactions between NOP1p and the pre-rRNA [18].
  • Thus, SOF1 is a new component of the nucleolar rRNA processing machinery [9].
  • These results suggest that Nop5p functions with Nop1p in the execution of early pre-rRNA processing steps that lead to formation of 18 S rRNA [12].
  • The observation that three nucleolar proteins are modified by Hmt1p but are not exported from the nucleolus implies an alternate role for arginine methylation [30].
