IPR007823

Description

IPR007823 is a Ribosomal RNA processing protein 8.

<p>Ribosomal RNA processing protein 8 (Rrp8) is a nucleolar Rossman-fold like methyltransferase. In yeast, it is involved in pre-rRNA cleavage at site A2 [[cite:PUB00078607]] and is responsible for a base methylation of the 25S rRNA [[cite:PUB00078606]]. In humans it is also known as nucleomethylin (NML), and it is important for mediating the assembly of the energy-dependent nucleolar silencing complex (eNoSC), which regulates rRNA transcription in response to glucose deprivation [[cite:PUB00078608]]. NML represses rDNA transcription by promoting H3K9 methylation and establishing heterochromatin across the rDNA [[cite:PUB00050320]].</p>

GO term Namespace Name Definition Relationships
Cellular component Nucleolus A small, dense body one or more of which are present in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells. It is rich in RNA and protein, is not bounded by a limiting membrane, and is not seen during mitosis. Its prime function is the transcription of the nucleolar DNA into 45S ribosomal-precursor RNA, the processing of this RNA into 5.8S, 18S, and 28S components of ribosomal RNA, and the association of these components with 5S RNA and proteins synthesized outside the nucleolus. This association results in the formation of ribonucleoprotein precursors; these pass into the cytoplasm and mature into the 40S and 60S subunits of the ribosome.
Molecular function Methyltransferase activity Catalysis of the transfer of a methyl group to an acceptor molecule.
