Gene Details:

  • Gene ID: Niben101Scf02909g02010.1
  • Gene Symbol: NbNOG1
  • Gene Name: Nucleolar GTP-binding protein 1
  • Genome:
  • Species: Nicotiana benthamiana

Functional Descriptions:

  • We characterized NbNOG1, a Nicotiana benthamiana NOG1 ortholog sharing more than 45% amino acid identity with Trypanosoma, yeast, and human NOG1. N. benthamiana plants silenced for NbNOG1 were stunted and produced sterile flowers.
  • NbNOG1 is functionally interchangeable with yeast NOG1 (ScNOG1), rescuing yeast lethality caused by loss of ScNOG1.
  • NbNOG1 silencing caused over-accumulation of pre-rRNA processing intermediates, and concomitant loss of mature rRNAs. Collectively, these data support a role for NbNOG1 in ribosomal RNA processing.
  • These finding support the hypothesis that NbNOG1 plays a crucial role in plant growth, development, reproduction and leaf senescence.
