Nol12 Family

Human Nol12 belongs to family of proteins known as ribosomal binding proteins RBPs. The human members have equivalents in different species. Its homologue in Drosophila melanogaster is called Viriato which is involved in eye and nervous system development and without Viriato, Drosophila melanogaster eye development fails. Loss of also Viriato resulted in cell proliferation, developmental delays and apoptosis.{{cite journal | vauthors = Marinho J, Martins T, Neto M, Casares F, Pereira PS | title = The nucleolar protein Viriato/Nol12 is required for the growth and differentiation progression activities of the Dpp pathway during Drosophila eye development | journal = Developmental Biology | volume = 377 | issue = 1 | pages = 154–65 | date = May 2013 | pmid = 23416177 | doi = 10.1016/j.ydbio.2013.02.003 | doi-access = free | hdl = 10316/26860 | hdl-access = free }}{{cite journal | vauthors = Marinho J, Casares F, Pereira PS | s2cid = 18287789 | title = The Drosophila Nol12 homologue viriato is a dMyc target that regulates nucleolar architecture and is required for dMyc-stimulated cell growth | journal = Development | volume = 138 | issue = 2 | pages = 349–57 | date = January 2011 | pmid = 21177347 | doi = 10.1242/dev.054411 | doi-access = free | hdl = 10261/41278 | hdl-access = free }} hNOL12 homologue in rats is known as Nop25 and is responsible for nucleolar structure and integrity.{{cite journal | vauthors = Suzuki S, Fujiwara T, Kanno M | title = Nucleolar protein Nop25 is involved in nucleolar architecture | journal = Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications | volume = 358 | issue = 4 | pages = 1114–9 | date = July 2007 | pmid = 17524363 | doi = 10.1016/j.bbrc.2007.05.069 }} Its yeast homologue has been named as Rrp17 which has been shown to possess 5′-3′ exonuclease activity and is involved in ribosome biogenesis.{{cite journal | vauthors = Oeffinger M, Zenklusen D, Ferguson A, Wei KE, El Hage A, Tollervey D, Chait BT, Singer RH, Rout MP | display-authors = 6 | title = Rrp17p is a eukaryotic exonuclease required for 5' end processing of Pre-60S ribosomal RNA | journal = Molecular Cell | volume = 36 | issue = 5 | pages = 768–81 | date = December 2009 | pmid = 20005841 | pmc = 2806520 | doi = 10.1016/j.molcel.2009.11.011 }}
