Primary Identifier | MGI:1890613 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 11 | NCBI Gene Number | 64934 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable RNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within maturation of LSU-rRNA from tricistronic rRNA transcript (SSU-rRNA, 5.8S rRNA, LSU-rRNA); nucleolus organization; and protein localization to organelle. Located in condensed chromosome and nucleolus. Part of PeBoW complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; cardiovascular system; genitourinary system; and respiratory system. Orthologous to human PES1 (pescadillo ribosomal biogenesis factor 1). PHENOTYPE: Targeted disuption of the mouse gene results in embryonic arrest at morula stages of development, as well as failure of nucleologenesis and disruption of ribosome biogenesis.
