Interactions and activities of factors involved in the late stages of human 18S rRNA maturation.


ABSTRACT: Ribosome production is an essential cellular process involving a plethora of trans-acting factors, such as nucleases, methyltransferases, RNA helicases and kinases that catalyse key maturation steps. Precise temporal and spatial regulation of such enzymes is essential to ensure accurate and efficient subunit assembly. Here, we focus on the maturation of the 3' end of the 18S rRNA in human cells. We reveal that human RIO2 is an active kinase that phosphorylates both itself and the rRNA methyltransferase DIM1 in vitro. In contrast to yeast, our data confirm that human DIM1 predominantly acts in the nucleus and we further demonstrate that the 21S pre-rRNA is the main target for DIM1-catalysed methylation. We show that the PIN domain of the endonuclease NOB1 is required for site 3 cleavage, while the zinc ribbon domain is essential for pre-40S recruitment. Furthermore, we also demonstrate that NOB1, PNO1 and DIM1 bind to a region of the pre-rRNA encompassing the 3' end of 18S and the start of ITS1, in vitro. Interestingly, NOB1 is present in the cell at higher levels than other pre-40S factors. We provide evidence that NOB1 is multimeric within the cell and show that NOB1 multimerisation is lost when ribosome biogenesis is blocked. Taken together, our data indicate a dynamic interplay of key factors associated with the 3' end of the 18S rRNA during human pre-40S biogenesis and highlight potential mechanisms by which this process can be regulated.
