Deletion of elongation factor-like 1 (Efl1p), a cytoplasmic GTPase homologous to the ribosomal translocases EF-G/EF-2, results in nucle(ol)ar pre-rRNA processing and pre-60S subunits export defects. Efl1p interacts genetically with Tif6p, a nucle(ol)ar protein stably associated with pre-60S subunits and required for their synthesis and nuclear exit. In the absence of Efl1p, 50% of Tif6p is relocated to the cytoplasm. In vitro, the GTPase activity of Efl1p is stimulated by 60S, and Efl1p promotes the dissociation of Tif6p-60S complexes. We propose that Tif6p binds to the pre-60S subunits in the nucle(ol)us and escorts them to the cytoplasm where the GTPase activity of Efl1p triggers a late structural rearrangement, which facilitates the release of Tif6p and its recycling to the nucle(ol)us.
与核糖体转位酶EF-G/EF-2同源的细胞质GTP酶延伸因子样1(Efl1p)的缺失会导致核仁前体rRNA加工和60S前体亚基输出缺陷。Efl1p与Tif6p发生遗传相互作用,Tif6p是一种与60S前体亚基稳定相关的核仁蛋白,其合成和核输出都需要它。在没有Efl1p的情况下,50%的Tif6p会重新定位于细胞质。在体外,Efl1p的GTP酶活性受到60S的刺激,并且Efl1p促进Tif6p-60S复合物的解离。我们提出,Tif6p在核仁中与60S前体亚基结合,并将它们护送至细胞质,在那里Efl1p的GTP酶活性触发后期结构重排,这有助于Tif6p的释放及其向核仁的循环利用。
