The DEAD-Box RNA Helicase-Like Utp25 Is an SSU Processome Component
Downloaded from rnajournal.cshlp.org on September 25, 2021 - Published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press The DEAD-box RNA helicase-like Utp25 is an SSU processome component J. MICHAEL CHARETTE1,2 and SUSAN J. BASERGA1,2,3 1Department of Molecular Biophysics & Biochemistry, Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, Connecticut 06520, USA 2Department of Therapeutic Radiology, Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, Connecticut 06520, USA 3Department of Genetics, Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, Connecticut 06520, USA ABSTRACT The SSU processome is a large ribonucleoprotein complex consisting of the U3 snoRNA and at least 43 proteins. A database search, initiated in an effort to discover additional SSU processome components, identified the uncharacterized, conserved and essential yeast nucleolar protein YIL091C/UTP25 as one such candidate. The C-terminal DUF1253 motif, a domain of unknown function, displays limited sequence similarity to DEAD-box RNA helicases. In the absence of the conserved DEAD-box sequence, motif Ia is the only clearly identifiable helicase element. Since the yeast homolog is nucleolar and interacts with components of the SSU processome, we examined its role in pre-rRNA processing. Genetic depletion of Utp25 resulted in slowed growth. Northern analysis of pre-rRNA revealed an 18S rRNA maturation defect at sites A0,A1, and A2. Coimmunoprecipitation confirmed association with U3 snoRNA and with Mpp10, and with components of the t-Utp/UtpA, UtpB, and U3 snoRNP subcomplexes. Mutation of the conserved motif Ia residues resulted in no discernable temperature- sensitive or cold-sensitive growth defects, implying that this motif is dispensable for Utp25 function. -

Fibrillarin methyltransferase activity is the primary known source of methylation for more than 100 methylated sites involved in the first steps of preribosomal processing and required for structural ribosome stability. High expression levels of fibrillarin have been observed in several types of cancer cells, particularly when p53 levels are reduced, because p53 is a direct negative regulator of fibrillarin transcription. Here, we show fibrillarin domain conservation, structure and interacting molecules in different cellular processes as well as with several viral proteins during virus infection.

Midha _______________________________ _______________________________ Committee Member Dean of the Graduate School Dr. Yingcai Xiao Dr. George R. Newkome _______________________________ Date ii ABSTRACT A tremendous increase in genomic data has encouraged biologists to turn to bioinformatics in order to assist in its interpretation and processing. One of the present challenges that need to be overcome in order to understand this data more completely is the development of a reliable method to accurately predict the function of a protein from its genomic information. This study focuses on developing an effective algorithm for protein function prediction. The algorithm is based on proteins that have similar expression patterns. The similarity of the expression data is determined using a novel measure, the slope matrix. The slope matrix introduces a normalized method for the comparison of expression levels throughout a proteome. The algorithm is tested using real microarray gene expression data. Their functions are characterized using gene ontology annotations. The results of the case study indicate the protein function prediction algorithm developed is comparable to the prediction algorithms that are based on the annotations of homologous proteins. -
The Nucleolus – a Gateway to Viral Infection? Brief Review
Arch Virol (2002) 147: 1077–1089 DOI 10.1007/s00705-001-0792-0 The nucleolus – a gateway to viral infection? Brief Review J. A. Hiscox School of Animal and Microbial Sciences, University of Reading, U.K. Received August 24, 2001; accepted December 26, 2001 Published online March 18, 2002, © Springer-Verlag 2002 Summary. A number of viruses and viral proteins interact with a dynamic sub- nuclear structure called the nucleolus. The nucleolus is present during interphase in mammalian cells and is the site of ribosome biogenesis, and has been implicated in controlling regulatory processes such as the cell cycle. Viruses interact with the nucleolus and its antigens; viral proteins co-localise with factors such as nucleolin, B23 and fibrillarin, and can cause their redistribution during infection. Viruses can use these components as part of their replication process, and also use the nucleolus as a site of replication itself. Many of these properties are not restricted to any particular type of virus or replication mechanism, and examples of these processes can be found in DNA, RNA and retroviruses. Evidence suggests that viruses may target the nucleolus and its components to favour viral transcription, translation and perhaps alter the cell cycle in order to promote virus replication. Autoimmunity to nucleolin and fibrillarin have been associated with a number of diseases, and by targeting the nucleolus and displacing nucleolar antigens, virus infection might play a role in the initiation of these conditions. Introduction The eukaryotic nucleus contains a number of domains or subcompartments, which include nucleoli, nuclear Cajal bodies, nuclear speckles, transcription and replica- tion foci, and chromosome territories [34]. -

Utpa and Utpb Chaperone Nascent Pre-Ribosomal RNA and U3 Snorna to Initiate Eukaryotic Ribosome Assembly
ARTICLE Received 6 Apr 2016 | Accepted 27 May 2016 | Published 29 Jun 2016 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms12090 OPEN UtpA and UtpB chaperone nascent pre-ribosomal RNA and U3 snoRNA to initiate eukaryotic ribosome assembly Mirjam Hunziker1,*, Jonas Barandun1,*, Elisabeth Petfalski2, Dongyan Tan3, Cle´mentine Delan-Forino2, Kelly R. Molloy4, Kelly H. Kim5, Hywel Dunn-Davies2, Yi Shi4, Malik Chaker-Margot1,6, Brian T. Chait4, Thomas Walz5, David Tollervey2 & Sebastian Klinge1 Early eukaryotic ribosome biogenesis involves large multi-protein complexes, which co-transcriptionally associate with pre-ribosomal RNA to form the small subunit processome. The precise mechanisms by which two of the largest multi-protein complexes—UtpA and UtpB—interact with nascent pre-ribosomal RNA are poorly understood. Here, we combined biochemical and structural biology approaches with ensembles of RNA–protein cross-linking data to elucidate the essential functions of both complexes. We show that UtpA contains a large composite RNA-binding site and captures the 50 end of pre-ribosomal RNA. UtpB forms an extended structure that binds early pre-ribosomal intermediates in close proximity to architectural sites such as an RNA duplex formed by the 50 ETS and U3 snoRNA as well as the 30 boundary of the 18S rRNA. Both complexes therefore act as vital RNA chaperones to initiate eukaryotic ribosome assembly. 1 Laboratory of Protein and Nucleic Acid Chemistry, The Rockefeller University, New York, New York 10065, USA. 2 Wellcome Trust Centre for Cell Biology, University of Edinburgh, Michael Swann Building, Max Born Crescent, Edinburgh EH9 3BF, UK. 3 Department of Cell Biology, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts 02115, USA. -

The Complete Structure of the Small-Subunit Processome
ARTICLES The complete structure of the small-subunit processome Jonas Barandun1,4 , Malik Chaker-Margot1,2,4 , Mirjam Hunziker1,4 , Kelly R Molloy3, Brian T Chait3 & Sebastian Klinge1 The small-subunit processome represents the earliest stable precursor of the eukaryotic small ribosomal subunit. Here we present the cryo-EM structure of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae small-subunit processome at an overall resolution of 3.8 Å, which provides an essentially complete near-atomic model of this assembly. In this nucleolar superstructure, 51 ribosome-assembly factors and two RNAs encapsulate the 18S rRNA precursor and 15 ribosomal proteins in a state that precedes pre-rRNA cleavage at site A1. Extended flexible proteins are employed to connect distant sites in this particle. Molecular mimicry and steric hindrance, as well as protein- and RNA-mediated RNA remodeling, are used in a concerted fashion to prevent the premature formation of the central pseudoknot and its surrounding elements within the small ribosomal subunit. Eukaryotic ribosome assembly is a highly dynamic process involving during which the four rRNA domains of the 18S rRNA (5′, central, in excess of 200 non-ribosomal proteins and RNAs. This process 3′ major and 3′ minor) are bound by a set of specific ribosome-assem- starts in the nucleolus where rRNAs for the small ribosomal subunit bly factors7,8. Biochemical studies indicated that these factors and the (18S rRNA) and the large ribosomal subunit (25S and 5.8S rRNA) 5′-ETS particle probably contribute to the independent maturation are initially transcribed as part of a large 35S pre-rRNA precursor of the domains of the SSU7,8. -
