Functional Characterization of Pwp2, a WD Family Protein Essential for the Assembly of the 90 S Pre-ribosomal Particle*{diamondsuit}

Mercedes Dosil{ddagger} and Xosé R. Bustelo

From the Centro de Investigación del Cáncer and Instituto de Biología Molecular y Celular del Cáncer, University of Salamanca-CSIC, Campus Unamuno, E-37007 Salamanca, Spain

Here we report the functional characterization of Pwp2, an evolutionary conserved component of the 90 S pre-ribosome. Conditional depletion of the Pwp2 protein in yeast specifically impairs pre-rRNA proccessing at sites A0, A1, and A2, leading to a strong decrease in 18 S rRNA and 40 S ribosomal subunit levels. Pre-ribosomal particle sedimentation analysis indicated that these defects are caused by a block in the formation of 90 S pre-ribosomes. We demonstrate that in Pwp2-depleted cells the U3 small nucleolar ribonucleoprotein is not able to interact with the 35 S pre-rRNA and accumulates as a free complex. Similarly, other 90 S particle components such as Imp3 and Imp4 do not associate with the pre-rRNA precursor in the absence of Pwp2. In addition, we have found that after blocking U3 ribonucleoprotein assembly, Pwp2 predominantly accumulates as a complex in association with five proteins: Dip2, Utp6, Utp13, Utp18, and Utp21. Immunoprecipitation and gradient sedimentation analysis revealed that this Pwp2 small subcomplex is capable of interacting directly with the 35 S pre-rRNA 5' end. Taken together, these results indicate that Pwp2 forms part of a stable particle subunit independent of the U3 small nucleolar ribonucleoprotein that is essential for the initial assembly steps of the 90 S pre-ribosome.
