Ribosomal protein s24; rps24

DESCRIPTION

The RPS24 gene encodes a protein involved in ribosomal RNA biogenesis (summary by Choesmel et al., 2008).

CLONING

Eukaryotic ribosomes are composed of 4 RNA species (see 180450) and at least 80 proteins. Brown et al. (1990) isolated a human ribosomal protein gene encoding a predicted 133-amino acid protein by probing a fibrosarcoma cDNA library with a ribosomal protein gene from Chinese hamster. By comparing the in vitro translation product with S24 from purified ribosomes on 2-dimensional gels, Brown et al. (1990) showed that the gene encodes the 40S ribosomal subunit protein S24 (RPS24).

GENE STRUCTURE

Xu and Roufa (1996) reported that RPS24 is organized into 6 exons and is differentially spliced to yield 2 isoforms, S24a and S24c, that are present in varying ratios in different tissues.

MAPPING

Jones et al. (1997) used PCR of radiation and somatic cell hybrid panels to map the RPS24 gene to 10q22-q23. Kenmochi et al. (1998) confirmed the RPS24 mapping assignment reported by Jones et al. (1997).

GENE FUNCTION

Choesmel et al. (2008) demonstrated that RPS24 is required for the pre-rRNA processing at the 5-prime external transcribed spacer (ETS) of the 45S rRNA precursor molecule.

BIOCHEMICAL FEATURES

- Crystal Structure Choesmel et al. (2008) determined the crystal structure of the P. abyssi RPS24e protein, which is homologous to human RPS24. The protein is built around a 4-stranded anti-parallel beta-sheet surrounded by 3 short alpha-helices. It shows homology to the prokaryotic ribosomal protein L23, which is a component of the large ribosomal subunit.

MOLECULAR GENETICS

Diamond-Blackfan anemia (DBA) is a rare congenital red cell aplasia characterized by anemia, bone marrow erythroblastopenia, and congenital anomalies. In approximately 25% of probands, heterozygous mutations in the ribosomal protein S19 gene (RPS19; 603474) have been found; see DBA1 (105650). Gazda et al. (2006) reported identification of de novo nonsense and splice site mutations in another ribosomal protein, RPS24 (602412.0001-602412.0003), in approximately 2% of RPS19 mutation-negative probands with Diamond-Blackfan anemia (DBA3; 610629). This finding strongly suggested that DBA is a disorder of ribosome synthesis and that mutations in other ribosomal proteins or associated genes that lead to disrupted ribosomal biogenesis and/or function may also cause DBA. Choesmel et al. (2008) found that lymphoblastoid cells derived from DBA3 patients with RPS24 mutations (602412.0001-612412.0003) had altered pre-rRNA processing, with lower levels of 41S pre-rRNA and accumulation of the 30S species, resulting in a lower 41S/30S ratio compared to controls. There was also less 21S and 18S-E pre-rRNA compared to controls, but the 21S/18S-E ratio was similar to controls. HeLa cells with siRNA against RPS24 showed a loss of free 40S ribosomal subunits and an accumulation of 60S subunits, indicating that RPS24 is essential for the production of the small ribosomal subunit 40S. Pulse-chase labeling and Northern blot studies of siRNA-knockdown cells showed lack of formation of 41S, 21S, and 18S-E pre-rRNA, although 28S was normal and 30S was increased. These findings suggested inhibition of cleavage at the 5-prime external transcribed spacer (ETS), as well as blocking of the subsequent processing of internal spacer-1 (ITS1) at the 3-prime end of the 18S rRNA. The pattern of the 60S rRNA subunit was ... More on the omim web site
