Prp43p, a key helicase in ribosome synthesis, is activated by yeast Gno1p and its human counterpart PINX1, which interact with Prp43p through their G-patch domain.
Alterations in the G-patch disrupt these interactions, negatively impacting Prp43p's activity and ribosome biogenesis in yeast.
Gno1p is shown to associate with early pre-ribosomal particles, and its interaction with PINX1 is essential for the maturation of ribosome precursors.
