Nop53 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable 5S rRNA binding activity; identical protein binding activity; and p53 binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of signal transduction by p53 class mediator; positive regulation of proteasomal ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process; and protein localization to nucleolus. Located in nucleolus. Is expressed in nucleus pulposus. Orthologous to human NOP53 (NOP53 ribosome biogenesis factor). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Nop53 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
