Abstract

The nucleolar proteins Gar1p and fibrillarin possess a typical nucleolar glycine/arginine-rich domain and belong to ribonucleoprotein particles. Both proteins are essential for yeast cell growth and are required for pre-rRNA processing. In addition, Gar1p is involved in pre-rRNA pseudouridylation, whereas fibrillarin is required for pre-rRNA methylation. Gar1p and fibrillarin are each associated with a different subset of the small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs). Gar1p is co-immunoprecipitated with the H/ACA family of snoRNAs, whereas fibrillarin is co-immunoprecipitated with the C/D family. However, attempts to demonstrate direct interactions between fibrillarin and snoRNAs have failed, and such interactions between Gar1p and the H/ACA snoRNAs had not yet been reported. Among the H/ACA snoRNAs associated with Gar1p, one can distinguish a large group of snoRNAs that are not essential in yeast and serve as guides for pseudouridine synthesis onto the pre-rRNA molecule. In contrast, the two snoRNAs snR10 and snR30 are required for normal cell growth and for pre-rRNA cleavage. We show here that Gar1p interacts in vitro directly and specifically with these two snoRNAs. Deletion analysis of Gar1p indicates that a major RNA binding element,...Continue Reading
