basic FUNCTION
  • WDR74 is a novel regulatory protein of the MTREX-exsosome complex whose interaction is regulated by NVL and is involved in ribosome biogenesis

    protein
  • WDR74 is a factor that specifically dissociates from the complex depending on the ATPase activity of NVL
  • WDR74 associates with the D1 AAA domain of NVL, which represents a novel mode of binding of a substrate with a type II AAA-ATPase
  • WDR74 associates with MTREX, the nuclear exosome-assisting RNA helicase, whose dissociation is prohibited by an ATPase-deficient mutant of the AAA-type chaperone NVL
  • dissociation of WDR74 from MTREX in a late stage of rRNA synthesis is thought to be required for appropriate maturation of the pre-60S particles
  • critical role of WDR74 in regulating TGFB1 signaling
  • WDR74 is a MTREX-interacting partner, whose dissociation is stimulated by the ATP hydrolysis of NVL
