Anti-RIO Kinase 1 / RIOK1 / RIO1

0.5mg/ml if reconstituted with 0.2ml sterile DI water. Serine/threonine-protein kinase RIO1 is an enzyme that in humans is encode by the RIOK1 gene. The protein encoded by this gene competes with pICln for inclusion in the protein arginine methyltransferase 5 complex. This complex targets substrates for dimethylation. The encoded protein is essential for the last steps in the maturation of 40S subunits. Protein function: Involved in the final steps of cytoplasmic maturation of the 40S ribosomal subunit. Involved in processing of 18S-E pre-rRNA to the mature 18S rRNA. Required for the recycling of NOB1 and PNO1 from the late 40S precursor (PubMed:22072790). The association with the very late 40S subunit intermediate may involve a translation-like checkpoint point cycle preceeding the binding to the 60S ribosomal subunit. Despite the protein kinase domain is proposed to act predominantly as an ATPase. The catalytic activity regulates its dynamic association with the 40S subunit. In addition to its role in ribosomal biogenesis acts as an adapter protein by recruiting NCL/nucleolin the to PRMT5 complex for its symmetrical methylation (PubMed:21081503). [The UniProt Consortium]
