Bop1 is a conserved nucleolar protein involved in
rRNA processing and ribosome assembly in eukaryotes. Expression of its
dominant-negative mutant Bop1 in mouse cells blocks rRNA maturation
and synthesis of large ribosomal subunits and induces a reversible,
p53-dependent cell cycle arrest. In this study, we have
conducted a deletion analysis of Bop1 and identified a new mutant,
Bop1N2, that also acts as a potent inhibitor of cell cycle progression.
Bop1N2 and Bop1 are C-terminal and N-terminal deletion mutants,
respectively, and share only 72 amino acid residues. Both mutant
proteins are localized to the nucleolus and strongly inhibit rRNA
processing, suggesting that activation of a cell cycle checkpoint by
Bop1 mutants is linked to their inhibitory effects on rRNA and ribosome synthesis. By using these dominant-negative mutants as well as antisense oligonucleotides to interfere with endogenous Bop1, we
identified specific rRNA processing steps that require Bop1 function in
mammalian cells. Our data demonstrate that Bop1 is required for proper
processing at four distinct sites located within the internal
transcribed spacers ITS1 and ITS2 and the 3' external spacer. We
propose a model in which Bop1 serves as an essential factor in ribosome
formation that coordinates processing of the spacer regions in
pre-rRNA.
