Type: | Domain | Name: | BOP1, N-terminal domain |
Description: | This domain is found in the N-terminal region of BOP1-like WD40 proteins. Bop1 is a nucleolar protein involved in rRNA processing, thereby controlling the cell cycle []. It is required for the maturation of the 25S and 5.8S ribosomal RNAs. It may serve as an essential factor in ribosome formation that coordinates processing of the spacer regions in pre-rRNA. | Short Name: | BOP1_N_dom |
