Small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) constitute a class of intron-derived non-coding RNAs ranging from 60 to 300 nucleotides. Canonically localized in the nucleolus, snoRNAs play a pivotal role in RNA modifications and pre-ribosomal RNA processing. Based on the types of modifications they involve, such as methylation and pseudouridylation, they are classified into two main families-box C/D and H/ACA snoRNAs.

During ribosome biogenesis a plethora of assembly factors and essential enzymes drive the unidirectional maturation of nascent pre-ribosomal subunits. The DEAD-box RNA helicase Dbp10 is suggested to restructure pre-ribosomal rRNA of the evolving peptidyl-transferase center (PTC) on nucleolar ribosomal 60S assembly intermediates. Here, we show that point mutations within conserved catalytic helicase-core motifs of Dbp10 yield a dominant-lethal growth phenotype.

Regulation of RNA helicase activity, often accomplished by protein cofactors, is essential to ensure target specificity within the complex cellular environment. The largest family of RNA helicase cofactors are the G-patch proteins, but the cognate RNA helicases and cellular functions of numerous human G-patch proteins remain elusive. Here, we discover that GPATCH4 is a stimulatory cofactor of DHX15 that interacts with the DEAH box helicase in the nucleolus via residues in its G-patch domain.

Eukaryotic ribosome assembly starts in the nucleolus, where the ribosomal DNA (rDNA) is transcribed into the 35S pre-ribosomal RNA (pre-rRNA). More than two-hundred ribosome biogenesis factors (RBFs) and more than two-hundred small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNA) catalyze the processing, folding and modification of the rRNA in . The initial pre-ribosomal 90S complex is formed already during transcription by association of ribosomal proteins (RPs) and RBFs.

The interaction between viruses with the nucleolus is already a well-defined field of study in plant virology. This interaction is not restricted to those viruses that replicate in the nucleus, in fact, RNA viruses that replicate exclusively in the cytoplasm express proteins that localize in the nucleolus. Some positive single stranded RNA viruses from animals and plants have been reported to interact with the main nucleolar protein, Fibrillarin.
