Saccharomyces cerevisiae Rrs1p is a
nuclear protein that is essential for the maturation of 25 S rRNA and
the 60 S ribosomal subunit assembly. In two-hybrid screening, using
RRS1 as bait, we have cloned YKR081c/RPF2.
Rpf2p is essential for growth and is mainly localized in the
nucleolus. The amino acid sequence of Rpf2p is highly conserved
in eukaryotes from yeast to human. Similar to Rrs1p, Rpf2p shows
physical interaction with ribosomal protein L11 and appears to
associate with preribosomal subunits fairly tightly. Northern,
methionine pulse-chase, and sucrose density gradient
ultracentrifugation analyses reveal that the depletion of Rpf2p
results in a delayed processing of pre-rRNA, a decrease of mature 25 S
rRNA, and a shortage of 60 S subunits. An analysis of processing
intermediates by primer extension shows that the Rpf2p depletion
leads to an accumulation of 27 SB pre-rRNA, suggesting that
Rpf2p is required for the processing of 27 SB into 25 S rRNA.
