Abstract
Saccharomyces cerevisiae open reading frame (ORF) YGL029w (CGR1) encodes a small hydrophilic protein of unknown function. To investigate the role of this gene, we have determined the intracellular localization of the encoded product and examined the effects of Cgrlp depletion on cell growth. Tagging Cgrlp with the green fluorescent protein (GFP) or the myc epitope showed focal accumulation of the fusion protein in the yeast nucleolus, and this localization overlapped with the distribution of the nucleolar protein Noplp. Cells depleted of CGR1 mRNA were growth impaired and hypersensitive to the translational inhibitor paromomycin, and this phenotype was complemented by episomal expression of the CGR1-GFP fusion gene. These results identify Cgrlp as a novel component of the yeast nucleolus and suggest a potential role in ribosome biogenesis.
