Rabbit Anti-BOP1/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
Predominantly localized to the nucleolus, BOP1 (Block of proliferation 1 protein) is a 746 amino acid highly conserved non-ribosomal protein that is involved in ribosome biogenesis. Truncation of the amino terminus of BOP1 leads to cell growth arrest in the G1 phase and specific inhibition of 28S and 5.8S rRNA synthesis, as well as a deficit in the cytosolic 60S ribosomal subunit. This suggests that BOP1 is involved in the formation of mature rRNAs and in the biogenesis of the 60S ribosomal subunit. BOP1 physically interacts with pescadillo (a protein involved in cell proliferation) and enables efficient incorporation of pescadillo into the nucleolar preribosomal complexes, thereby affecting rRNA maturation and the cell cycle. The BOP1-pescadillo complex is also necessary for biogenesis of 60S ribosomal subunits. Deregulation of BOP1 may lead to colorectal tumorigenesis.
Function:
Component of the PeBoW complex, which is required for maturation of 28S and 5.8S ribosomal RNAs and formation of the 60S ribosome.
Subunit:
Component of the PeBoW complex, composed of BOP1, PES1and WDR12. Within the PeBoW complex BOP1 interacts directly withPES1 and WDR12. The PeBoW complex also associates with the 66Spre-ribosome.
Subcellular Location:
Nucleus
Similarity:
Belongs to the WD repeat BOP1/ERB1 family.
Contains 7 WD repeats.
