The ribosomal subunit assembly line (2005)

Dlakić, Mensur

Abstract Recent proteomic studies in Saccharomyces cerevisiae have identified nearly 200 proteins, other than the structural ribosomal proteins, that participate in the assembly of ribosomal subunits...

DNA sequence-dependent folding determines the divergence in binding specificities between Maf and other bZIP proteins

Dlakić, Mensur, Grinberg, Asya V., Leonard, David A., Kerppola, Tom K.

Maf family transcription factors are atypical basic region–leucine zipper (bZIP) proteins that contain a variant basic region and an ancillary DNA-binding region. These proteins recognize extended...

Nob1p Is Required for Cleavage of the 3′ End of 18S rRNA

Fatica, Alessandro, Oeffinger, Marlene, Dlakić, Mensur, Tollervey, David

We report the characterization of a novel factor, Nob1p (Yor056c), which is essential for the synthesis of 40S ribosome subunits. Genetic depletion of Nob1p strongly inhibits the processing of the...

A pre-ribosome-associated HEAT-repeat protein is required for export of both ribosomal subunits

Oeffinger, Marlene, Dlakić, Mensur, Tollervey, David

Rrp12p (Ypl012w) is unusual among characterized ribosome synthesis factors in being associated with late precursors to both the 40S and 60S subunits. Rrp12p is predominately nuclear with nucleolar...

The ribosomal subunit assembly line

Dlakić, Mensur

Recent proteomic studies in in yeast and plants have identified nearly 200 yeast proteins that participate in the assembly of ribosomal subunits and their transport from the nucleus, and revealed...

Naf1 p is a box H/ACA snoRNP assembly factor.

Fatica, Alessandro, Dlakić, Mensur, Tollervey, David

Box H/ACA small nucleolar ribonucleoprotein particles (snoRNPs) contain four essential proteins, Cbf5p, Gar1p, Nhp2p, and Nop10p, each of which, with the exception of Gar1p, is required for box H/ACA...

Characterization of the Archaeal Thermophile Sulfolobus Turreted Icosahedral Virus Validates an Evolutionary Link among Double-Stranded DNA Viruses from All Domains of Life

Maaty, Walid S. A., Ortmann, Alice C., Dlakić, Mensur, Schulstad, Katie, Hilmer, Jonathan K., Liepold, Lars, ...

Icosahedral nontailed double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) viruses are present in all three domains of life, leading to speculation about a common viral ancestor that predates the divergence of Eukarya,...

Roles of the HEAT repeat proteins Utp10 and Utp20 in 40S ribosome maturation

Dez, Christophe, Dlakić, Mensur, Tollervey, David

A family of HEAT-repeat containing ribosome synthesis factors was previously identified in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We report the detailed characterization of two of these factors, Utp10 and Utp20,...

A model of the replication fork blocking protein Fob1p based on the catalytic core domain of retroviral integrases

Dlakić, Mensur

The replication fork blocks are common in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. In most cases, these blocks are associated with increased levels of mitotic recombination. One of the best-characterized...
