background:
BXDC1 is a 306 amino acid protein encoded by the human gene BXDC1. BXDC1 is a nuclear protein that contains one Brix domain. Brix domain containing proteins represent a family of proteins involved in the biogenesis of large ribosomal subunits. The Brix domain is a region with homology to the yeast protein Pitx1 (Ribosome biogenesis protein BRX1). Pitx1 is part of a complex that includes RPF1, RPF2 and SSF1 or SSF2. This complex is required for the biogenesis of the 60S ribosomal subunit.
Function:
BXDC proteins interact with the 5S, 5.8S and 28S RNAs of large ribosomal subunits.
Subcellular Location:
Nucleus, nucleolus. Note=Associated with the nucleolus in an RNA-dependent manner.
Similarity:
Belongs to the RPF2 family.
Contains 1 Brix domain.
