High impact information on NOP53

  • Nop53p is required for late 60S ribosome subunit maturation and nuclear export in yeast [1].
  • Deletion or mutations within NOP53 cause significant growth defects and display significant 60 S subunit deficiencies, an imbalance in the 40 S:60 S ratio, as revealed by polysome profiling, and defects in progression beyond the 27 S stage of 25 S rRNA maturation during 60 S biogenesis [2].
  • A carbon source-conditional strain with the NOP53 coding sequence under the control of the GAL1 promoter did not grow in glucose-containing medium, showing the phenotype of an essential gene [3].
  • Specifically, Nop53p appears to be most important for biogenesis of the 60 S subunit [2].
  • Nop53p is a novel nucleolar 60S ribosomal subunit biogenesis protein [2].
