Summary
{"type": "root", "children": [{"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nNOL12 is a multifunctional RNA‐binding protein that plays pivotal roles in both RNA metabolism and genome integrity. It localizes to several subcellular compartments, including the nucleolus—where it associates with ribosomal RNA to facilitate the separation of large and small subunit precursors—and the nucleoplasm, where it co-localizes with the RNA/DNA helicase Dhx9 and paraspeckle components, as well as cytoplasmic GW/P-bodies. Disruption of NOL12 expression impairs the cellular ability to recover from DNA stress, triggering a rapid, p53‐independent ATR–Chk1-mediated apoptotic response; its co-localization with DNA repair proteins, such as TOPBP1, underscores its essential role in the resolution of DNA stress and the maintenance of genome stability."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "1"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n"}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nIn addition, NOL12 (hNoL12) has been identified as a specific interactor of the mature HIV-1 nucleocapsid protein (NCp7) within the nucleolus. This interaction, which depends on the RNA-binding capacities of both proteins, involves the exonuclease domain of hNoL12 and is distinguished by its specificity for the mature form of NCp7 rather than its Gag precursor. Such findings link NOL12’s established role in ribosomal RNA processing to viral replication dynamics, highlighting its multifaceted contributions to both host cellular function and pathogen interaction."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "2"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n"}]}, {"type": "rg", "children": [{"type": "r", "ref": 1, "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "Daniel D Scott, Christian Trahan, Pierre J Zindy, et al.
