Multiple sequence alignment of RRM3 from RBM28.

The amino acids corresponding to RRM3 from human RBM28, yeast Nop4 and RBM28 from M. mulatta, M. musculus, X. tropicalis and D. rerio were aligned. The conserved structural elements of a canonical …

RBM28 complements the growth defect in yeast observed upon depletion of its essential ortholog, Nop4.

(A) Nop4 and RBM28 are expressed from the yeast expression vector p414GPD-3xFLAG-GW. Expression of Nop4 (78 kDa) or RBM28 (86 kDa) from p414GPD-3xFLAG-GW was analyzed by western blot using a …
