Rrp14 controls rRNA transcription via facilitating the translocation of Pol5 into the nucleolus
CELL CYCLE(2022)
Abstract
Rrp14 is a conserved protein that plays an important role in rRNA processing and ribosomal biogenesis. In Schizosaccharomyces pombe, the rrp14 gene is split into SPAC8C9.10 c (rrp14) and SPBC947.07 (rrp1402). Although the SPAC8C9.10 c gene is not essential for S. pombe survival, deletion of the gene causes the yeast cells to grow sick and to exhibit decreased rRNA transcription. We identified a novel Pol5 protein that physically interacts with the Rrp14 protein. Taking advantage of the Pil1 co-tethering assay, we found that Rrp14 facilitates the nucleolus translocation of Pol5, and the 7-RINAWN-12 motif of the Rrp14 protein is responsible for the interaction between Pol5 and Rrp14. Since deletion of the 7-RINAWN-12 motif affects rRNA transcription, we thus propose that Rrp14 affects rRNA transcription by facilitating the nucleolus translocation of Pol5.
